The data shows that both of the released offenders in the Winnebago zip code were men. The younger parolee was a 23-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2014, and the other was a 53-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Benjamin Welter. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2014, when he was 23 years old. He is now 27.
Under state law, paroled offenders are still in legal custody of the IDOC, meaning they can be taken back to a correctional center at any time if the state has probable cause or a warrant.
