Police 03

There were six offenders released on parole during the second quarter that live in Union County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by Southern Illinois News.

The data shows that all of the released offenders in Union County were men. The median age of the parolees was 29. The youngest parolee was a 23-year-old man sentenced for a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 44-year-old man sentenced for a crime against justice in 2016.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Trenton G. Cockrum. He was convicted of a property crime in 2014 when he was 23 years old. He is now 29.

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.

The table below gives a breakdown of how many offenders were paroled in the second quarter in each Union County municipality.
