There were six offenders released on parole during 2018 that live near Illinois zip code 62951, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by Carbondale Reporter.

The data shows that five men and one woman were released in the Johnston City zip code. The median age of the parolees was 53. The youngest parolee was a 31-year-old woman convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2017, and the oldest was a 65-year-old man convicted of a sex crime in 2008.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Gary Droit. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2008, when he was 65 years old. He is now 76.

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.
