Police 02

There were three offenders released on parole during the first quarter that live in Fulton County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by Sangamon Sun.

The data shows that two men and one woman were released in Fulton County. The median age of the parolees was 28. The youngest parolee was a 21-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving one or more weapons in 2017, and the oldest was a 34-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving drugs in 2016.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Zachary J. Hart. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2016 when he was 31 years old. He is now 34.

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 first quarter in each Fulton County municipality.
