The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Robert F. Barnes. He was convicted in 2018 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.
