Idaho State Correctional Institution
- Idaho State Correctional Institution
The Idaho State Correctional Institution(ISCI) is a prison for long-term male, medium-custody offenders in Kuna, Idaho, U.S.A. It also has special-use beds for infirmary, outpatient mental health and geriatric offenders. It is operated by the Idaho Department of Correction. ISCI was opened in 1973, after riots destroyed much of the Idaho State Penitentiary.
The institution is surrounded by a double fence, which is patrolled by sentry dogs. There also are seven towers to monitor perimeter security and offender movement. The compound includes a chapel, recreation center, school, large correctional industries operation and a medical clinic.
ISCI also hosts an Inmate Dog Alliance of Idaho program. This program takes dogs from the Human Society, and places them with an inmate. The goal of the program is to rehabilitate the dogs, so they can be put up for adoption, as well as providing therapeutic advantages for the offenders.
Safe Operating Capacity: 1,490
Escapes
In 1986, infamous killer Claude Dallas escaped from ISCI, walking out with a group of visitors. This escape spurred an almost year long man hunt that ended in California.
ISCI is one of five prisons in the South Boise Prison Complex.
