The data shows that 12 men and two women were released in Evanston zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 34. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2019, and the oldest was a 66-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2019.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Emmanuel Phillips. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2012, when he was 35 years old. He is now 43.
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.
