There were two offenders released on parole during the second quarter of 2019 that live in Pulaski County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by Southern Illinois News.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was John L. Farris. He was convicted of a property crime in 2017 when he was 53 years old. He is now 56.
