The Illinois Department of Corrections has finally come clean with a list of inmates released since March 1, despite the “shelter-in-place order” issued by the Governor.  The data should scare the hell out of Illinois residents. 

While many of the offenders had already been scheduled for “mandatory supervised release,” plenty more were released on the governor’s orders.  Originally, Mr. Pritzker told legislators that only “non-violent” offenders would be released because for compassionate reasons related to the coronavirus.

The Center Square covered this recently and we featured the story on the front page of our May 2020 issue of GunNews.

Pritzker criticized over quiet commutations, not releasing medically vulnerable

(The Center Square) – An Illinois lawmaker and a county sheriff are raising fresh concerns about Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s decision to release inmates as the spread of COVID-19 continues in the state’s prisons, including questions about transparency. 

Illinois Department of Corrections officials confirmed the release of some inmates on a list released by State Rep. John Cabello. However, officials said the list included people who were released for reasons unrelated to the governor’s executive order and the transmission of COVID-19.

The spreadsheet, titled “COVID FINAL list of early exits” listed the names of 761 inmates. The charges included murder, forcible sexual assault, armed robbery, making heroin, aggravated domestic battery, aggravated vehicular hijacking of a handicapped person and other violent crimes. Several of the people, including those convicted of murder, were directly commuted by Pritzker, according to the document.

The data was provided by Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey, who said his office found it on the Illinois Department of Corrections website after an exhaustive search. Subsequent searches turned up no such document.

“I don’t disagree with those that say there are those within our prison system that should probably be released,” Downey said. “We were told that these were going to be nonviolent. When you’re talking about armed robberies, murders, criminal sexual assaults, those individuals should not get released early based on the possibility that they could contract COVID.”  [emphasis added.]

Recidivism?  Recidivism.

Yes, the word for the day is “recidivism.”  Does anyone think more than a handful of these early releases will behave themselves and live life on the straight and narrow for more than a few weeks (days?)?

Especially with convictions for heinous crimes like murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm (basically an attempted murder), carjacking, rape, child rape, armed habitual criminal, child molestation, kidnapping, kiddie porn, home invasion…  The list of offenses is long and very ugly.

The list includes 403 Class X offenders.  Literally the worst of the worst.  And here they are along with their convictions…

You carry your gun everyday? 

Clearly, unless you want to find yourself a helpless victim of one of these 410 or tens of thousands of other similar violent criminal predators in Illinois, you should.

  1. What in the actual fuck is wrong with the state of Illinois they’re corrupt and fucking stupid. Hey let’s let out all the drug dealing gangbanging kid touching pos retards that clearly doesn’t give a fuck back into society knowing damn well these stupid mfs ain’t gonna change shoulda just left them fuckers in there where they belong. Instead of worrying about these mfs that don’t care about other people actually provide for the people that ARE in need right now. Them mfs dont deserve to be out they ruined that when they did the crime. YOU DO THE CRIME YOU DO THE MF TIME. State of Illinois is ran by a bunch of greedy fucking retards.

    1. All the time and money spent on the court hearings for these imates. So the lawyers and judges just wasted their time trying to do the right thing. This is craziness they are labeled CLASS X for a reason!!!!! These people did hard core crimes so how does anyone think they are going to come out productive citizens!!

    2. The real slap in the face is to all of the citizens that served on juries. The Governor just said that their decisions mean nothing.

  2. Good job Pritzker. I hope this decision bites you right in your fat ass. Let’s put hard working people on lock down but let violent criminals out of prison. You should be ashamed of yourself

    1. Not only that, but what are these criminals supposed to do to support themselves – no jobs available. The majority will almost certainly resort to crime…

  3. Prickster would be more than willing to lockup a gun owner with an expired FOID card; but allows every drug dealing gang trash on the street, so they can rape, rob and pillage.

    The Fat Ass Prickster wants all of us to be victims to the above third world gangsters.

    This has got to stop. Illinois is about to become unlivable thanks to the democrats.

    Repeal the Damn FOID card, Repeal the 68 GCA.

    Lets go back to the PRE-FOID card and Pre-1968 GCA times.

    1. Chit-cago, no-information, deceased “voters” that are registered in every precinct in and around the murder city who voted early and often. Downstate has no chance.

  4. I understand letting some people out but why all the Class X felons. This to me was not a good decision. I hope that none of them hurt anyone, especially the sexual preditors

    1. It’s what liberals always want, they just don’t have a good excuse to do it in normal times. This is just a very convenient opportunity to accomplish their goals. It’s their voter base, don’t you know.
      Rahm Emmanuel said to never let a good crisis go to waste. It’s the only thing Prickster is good at.

    1. Do you mean the older criminals and inmates with health problems ? If so let them die choking in a jail cell. show them the same mercy they showed their victims.

  5. Were are the others 3600 names and charges? How do we find out? There are people on cook county who killed my brother, seems there has to be a way to vote him out, he is creating chaos, so what’s he covering up?

    1. https://www2.illinois.gov/idoc/Offender/Pages/CommunityNotificationofInmateEarlyRelease.aspx

      It’s very easy to look someone up by their IDOC number, which I’m sure you know since you seem to care about this. You can see releases since March 1st to current here. It seems like the absolute overwhelming majority of people released early, were only released 1-2 months earlier than their projected Mandatory Scheduled Release. This article makes it sound like there will be terror in the streets, these people aren’t being released that early, it’s sensationalism and should make you think about the motives of the person that runs this site.

  6. I encourage everybody to look up the prior years exit numbers for March & April. It’s all on the IL Department of Corrections website. Guess what? There were more exits in prior years compared to the list above. Might this piece of writing be a little biased? Nice photo too.

  7. If These guys are affiliated they’re about to start a war in the streets. It’s been pretty peaceful out there. Unless these guys are reformed and they got their degrees in prison, they’re going right back to where they left off. Most of the time when guys like this are released they have to go through a halfway house before they are able to return to mainstream society. The corporation which handles ex inmates is usually A Safe Haven. Word is they have a very strict policy. If they violate that policy they usually get sent back to prison. Hopefully this is the case. Otherwise we’re about to see the largest bloodbath probably since the late 90’s…..

  8. To some people, this is a God send. There are so many people in prison with way to harsh of a sentence. I think this is a good chance for them to change their whole lives. the ones that choose to do it all over again, well too bad for them. That photo is a ploy to make it look worse than it is.

    1. This is one of the most inane comments I have ever seen on any chat page on any subject. Did it occur to you that ” the ones that choose to do it all over again, well too bad for them” is not only too bad for them but too bad for the victims?

    2. This photo is from three Arizona inmates. It’s kinda misleading. GunsSaveLife could probably find some scary pictures from the IDOC inmate search of people that are being released, but they’re a lazy publication. They probably searched “scary inmates” on Google.

    3. Look at whom many of these criminal are! Life is tough, it’s tougher if you’re stupid!

    4. Are you kidding me? Your obviously waiting for your pen pal lover
      to come home. What a dumb ass.

    5. Sharon, Have you thought about your comment – “the ones that choose to do it all over again, well too bad for them”

      I can imagine how you’d ‘feel’ if one of these guys victimized you or your family and you to carry that for the rest of your or your families’ life.

      But, at least you feel better about wishing them well. Also, a God send? A just God would not want this!

  9. I wish to thank the Governor for constantly using scare tactics in virus briefing, for moving toward making it impossible to live in Illinois with the heavy tax burdens. I also think that making in legal to get high doesn’t help much and now it is even more unsafe because many serious criminals are back on our street. Why don’t you skip passing go and go right into jail yourself like many governors before you!

  10. Maybe they all paid Prickster off and that is how he was able to
    buy his 12 million dollar mansion down in Florida.

  11. As a victim living in constant fear, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! violent offenders are in jail for a very good reason(s). They will hurt again. They will come looking for us. How could the governor/ government do this to us?? They have put us and our families lives in jeopardy once again.

  12. Don’t forget that while IDOC has been forced to release these dirtbags and a lot more that are not on the list, they are not taking anymore into the system. All of the city and county jails are filling up. What happens when your jail is full?

  13. These are the criminals that you released from prison. Does anyone think they will not be back in jail again. Perhaps after someone has been robbed raped and murdered. Have they been checked for COVID-19. I feel this is the craziest thing I have ever heard of. They belong in prison because of their past and guarantee they will again be in prison because of their future crimes. Now go out and arrest someone for not wearing a mask and throw them in jail. Absolutely so stupid.

  14. ode to IL:
    .a fat motherf**k name of jabba
    .pardoned a rapist and “robbah”
    .dude said he’d do it again
    .it be’s about skin
    .an’ gittin’ dem’ white-wimmen knob-bah’s!

  15. My grandson has asthma and is on lockdown . He never violent but did have class 3 felony because he did meth.
    He could take covid and due within days but he was not released. This is unfair to my grandson . Murderes , Rapist, some of the worst people . If you were compassionate at all the people with bad health be released

  16. This is a slap in the face to all the victims these people have hurt. Its ridiculous, there’s no reason to let them out early. Cause of a virus. Teach your staff ppe, and keep them for their due time.

    1. Agreed, if the taxes don’t kill you maybe the criminals that have been released will.

  17. Stop releasing these motherfucking prisoners they are killing people raping people you don’t give a fuck about the other citizens

  18. Wheres the rest of the 4000 names, I want to see if my brothers murderer got out I will file suit against him as the sentence was not commutable

  19. I don’t think any should be released, but if you do, it should be for lesser offences. Not murder, rape, or armed robbery.

  20. gubernor jabba: let out thousands of thugs, but close churches for a year? FU, commie a**hole. still sucking grobama d**k?

  21. This is unbelievable!! Prickster needs to be charged with any crime these released prisoners commit. He is releasing murderers, rapists & the worse of the worse criminals & closing churches. Gun sales are rocketing & we will definitely have to protect ourselves not only from the criminals but also the government. Prickster needs to be recalled, sued & put in prison.

  22. RIGHT OF REVOLUTION! Impeach Prickster! Impeach Prickster! Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster Impeach Prickster! When it is “safe enough” to open our prisons back up (that sentence slays me) then pluck him up from whatever mansion he is hiding in and lock him up. Impeach Prickster! He waddles onto our television set every day with his “daily hate” just to try to keep the citizens of Illinois under his fat little thumb! Illinois is an amazing place we literally have it all. We just need to take our state back from ALL the criminals. That includes
    murders,rapist,robbers,gang bangers, and rich assholes who are so far removed from reality they think they can run the people.

  23. There are people in jail that by letting out wouldn’t hurt others or someone who has done 25/35 years old now why all young harmful violent I’m at a loss of faith here and I think this bill shit has to end

  24. Your all just racist gun collecting confederate flag wearing uneducated… hang on heard little noise at 3am? Not in this neighood… HAAAA maaaaan somebody’s heart blew up reading their usual banter. They don’t care until your wife’s getting pounded in next room and your somehow tied up in other, I never listened to these folks rant about the evils of the left until 9 seconds post Trump placing his hand on the bible, constantly daily monthly attempting to overthrow him openly without a care or hint of shame. Their party will not recover from this. Simple as that. Their own base, other than the loons in smaller uber elite areas are now unable to see why govenor jabba… he’s not a pos he’s an entire solar system. Joe Biden when asked about Illinois extension and Pritzker he said that he’s an Michigan State fan cause little caesar’s pizza isn’t really good with helicopter rides…. then his wife pulled him away quickly taxing him so there you go. Party over:)
