Caveats
- This is a point in time count as of June 30 each year, not an average daily population or a count of people entering supervision during the year.
- IDOC's active supervision total excludes people who are incarcerated, in federal custody, deported, detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), absconded, on parole violation status, on a bench warrant, or on unsupervised probation.
- This population is supervised in the community and is separate from and additional to the number of people IDOC incarcerates in its prisons, reentry centers, county jails and a contracted out of state facility; adding the two together gives everyone under IDOC's authority, a different and larger figure than either population alone.
- IDOC's community population reports render some years' total-population chart values only as an image chart with no adjoining text, so this dataset has no total for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.
- IDOC's own reports state a total active supervision population for fiscal year 2024 of 15,911, which is 580 fewer than the sum of that same year's own printed probation population (11,767) and parole population (4,724). Of the five fiscal years that carry both a stated total and both parts, the other four reconcile to the person, so the gap is particular to the fiscal year 2024 figures rather than a difference between what the total and the two parts count. This dataset stores all three exactly as IDOC prints them and adjusts none of them.
