The data shows that 95 men and three women were released in the Rockford zip code. The median age of the parolees was 34. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 66-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2013.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was David Vanhorn. He was convicted of homicide in 1998, when he was 39 years old. He is now 60.
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.
