Week ending April 29: three inmates sentenced in McLean County to be released from Illinois Department of Corrections

3edited

There are three inmates sentenced to jail in McLean County set to be released from the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections during the week ending April 29.

The inmate being released who served the longest time was Jarob K. Grinnage for manufacturing or delivery of a schedule 1 or 2 narcotic. Jarob K. Grinnage spent more than two years incarcerated.

According to The Institute for Illinois’ Fiscal Sustainability, Illinois spends about $37,000 a year per incarcerated person. In a study by Prison Policy Initiative, Illinois’ incarceration rate was at 564 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 850 per 100,000.

One of the issues is how pretrial detainees are now handled. The Vera Institute of Justice noted that pretrial detainees made up 71% of the total jail population.

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