2 inmates sentenced in Johnson County to be released in Q1 2025

30edited

There are two inmates set to be released from jail in Johnson County during the first quarter of 2025, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

The inmate being released that served the longest time was Crystal A. Pietrowski for failure to register a new residence. Crystal A. Pietrowski spent more than one year incarcerated.

According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois spends about $45,828 a year per incarcerated person. In a 2023 study by the Prison Policy Initiative, the state's incarceration rate was at 433 per 100,000, higher than every industrialized country, except the United States. When compared with its surrounding states, Illinois was the lowest. Kentucky and Missouri have rates over 700 per 100,000.

One of the reasons behind jail growth is how pretrial detainees are handled. Another study by the Prison Policy Initiative noted that the number of unconvicted individuals was more than two times higher than convicted individuals.

Most prison inmates are released on some condition of supervised monitoring upon reentering civilian life. This monitoring can last from 1 year to the rest of someone’s life.
