 Thirty-six-year-old Michael Rodriguez was part of a parole roundup
ordered by Gov. Pat Quinn's administration of inmates released under
the discontinued "MGT Push" plan.The Chicago Sun-Times reported
last week that Rodriguez was convicted in 2007 on charges related to
a 1990 gang-related murder. He was one of 1,700 inmates set free
secretly under MGT Push to save money.
Quinn halted the program and officials ordered parolees to follow
extraordinarily harsh restrictions or be returned to prison.
Documents reviewed by The Associated Press show 151 have been
returned in the last 12 days.
A Corrections spokeswoman did not immediately comment
