The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Bessie Rowlen. She was convicted of homicide in 1990, when he was 24 years old. She is now 53.
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.
