Admissions to IDJJ of 17 to 20 year olds Youth in Illinois are considered adults under Illinois criminal law at age 17 and would be tried in the adult court for offenses committed after their 17 th birthdays ‡ . Therefore, youth 17 years of age and older who are tried as adults would be sentenced to adult IDOC facilities. However, if a youth is between the ages of 17 and 20 and committed their offense prior to their 17 th birthdays, they would be tried in the juvenile court. If sentenced to corrections, these youth would be committed to an IDJJ facility. In FY07, 42 percent of all admissions to IDJJ were youth between the ages of 17 and 20. In FY07, 971 youth in this age group were admitted to IDJJ facilities–a 69 percent increase from 576 in FY97 and a 5 percent decrease from 1,026 in FY02. The proportion of IDJJ admissions that are youth 17 years of age or older has steadily increased during the last ten years. Of the 971 youth in this age group admitted to IDJJ facilities in FY07, 341 were court commitments for new adjudications (35 percent), and 630 were technical violation recommitments (65 percent). Court commitments to IDJJ of 17 to 20 year olds Given the age of juvenile court jurisdiction, it is understandable that few youth over the age of 17 are committed to IDJJ facilities. The number of court commitments of youth 17 years of age or older increased 3 percent from 330 in FY97 to 341 in FY07, and increased 15 percent from 296 in FY02. Technical violation recommitments to IDJJ of 17 to 20 year olds If a youth received a juvenile sentence, was released on parole or MSR, and then violated the parole/MSR conditions af ter their 17 th birthday but before they turned 21, the youth would be returned to an IDJJ juvenile facility. As most youth that are committed to IDJJ facilities are 15 and 16 years of age, it is understandable that the majority of youth 17 years of age and older are committed to IDJJ for technical parole/MSR violations. Of the 971 youth 17 years of age or older admitted to an IDJJ facility in FY07, 65 percent were recommitted for technical violations of parole/MSR. The 630 youth in this age group committed in FY07 for technical violations is more than double the 246 youth committed in FY97, and a 14 percent increase from 730 in FY02. Parole Youth released on parole In FY07, 1,780 youth were released on parole/MSR from IDJJ facilities. This represents a one percent increase from the 1,761 released in FY97 and a 9 percent decrease from the 1,961 released in FY02. The number of youth released on parole increased steadily between 2001 and ‡ Beginning January 1, 2010, youth 17 years old charged with misdemeanor offenses will remain under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Youth 17 years of age charged with felonies will still be considered adults under Illinois criminal law. 58
2004, increasing 28 percent from 1,756 to 2,242, before declining21 percent to 1,780 in 2007. Figure 24 shows the number of new releases to parole/MSR, by region of release, from FY97 to FY07. Of the 1,780 youth released on parole/MSR in FY07, 604 or 34 percent were 13 to 16 years old. The remaining 66 percent (1,176) were 17 years of age or older.

The number of releases decreased 24 percent from 460 in FY97 to 350 in FY07; and decreased 22 percent from 450 in FY02. Cook County also experienced a decrease in the number of parole releases, decreasing 15 percent from 601 in FY97 to 512 in FY07, and 22 percent from 655 in FY02. While Southern Illinois had the lowest number of parole releases, this region experienced the largest increase during the time examined–increasing 51 percent from 130 in FY97 to 196 in FY07, and increasing 14 percent from 172 in FY02. The number of parole releases increased in the Central counties as well. Between FY97 and FY07 the number of releases increased 49 percent, from 405 in FY97 to 603 in FY07. Between FY02 and FY07 the number increased 11 percent from 542. Youth on parole on June 30, 2007 To get an estimate of the number of youth on parole on a given day, the number of youth on th parole on June 30 of the state fiscal year is used. On June 30, 2007, there were 2,084 youth on parole–a 54 percent increase from the 1,354 youth on parole on June 30, 1997; and a 27 percent increase from the 1,643 youth on parole on June 30, 2002. The number of youth on parole began 59
