The Idaho Department of Correction is a government agency within the Government Administration sector that operates as the state’s correctional system. It manages individuals convicted of felony offenses through prisons, probation, and parole, while also overseeing community supervision and retained jurisdiction programs, with the aim of providing equitable access to programming and opportunities that reflect a community experience, foster connection, and support victims of crime. Based in Idaho, the department runs ten prisons, five community reentry centers, and seven district offices, employing staff across security and non-security roles, including educators, clinicians, and administrative functions. The organization emphasizes integrity, respect, and a constructive outlook toward reform, envisioning a safer Idaho with fewer people in its correctional system. Recent context notes indicate ongoing public-sector activity within the state, reflecting its role in broader government operations and public safety efforts.
