The data shows that 54 men and seven women were released in the Rockford zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 37. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2017, and the oldest was a 51-year-old man convicted of homicide in 1999.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Ted Kuhl. He was convicted of homicide in 1999, when he was 51 years old. He is now 71.
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.
