Inmates provide janitorial services and a majority of the maintenance work at the prisons and community work centers. Every year, inmate work crews assist the Idaho Transportation Department on road projects and the U.S. Forest Service on firefighting and forest rehabilitation.
Inmates are also active in numerous community projects throughout the year.
Almost one out of every five inmates in our system is serving time for a sex crime conviction. The Department of Correction realizes the importance of support from the families and friends of inmates. Visitation is allowed at every one of the IDOC's eight prisons and five community work centers. If you are interested in visiting an incarcerated offender, you must complete a visitation application. Visitation applications may be obtained by the inmate in his or her housing unit and mailed to potential visitors.
