IDAHO PRISONERS ON THEIR WAY TO TEXAS

Idaho prisoners are now being staged for transfer to a 550 bed jail facility in Karnes City, Texas. As of February 5, 2018, prisoners slated to be transferred at the ISCC and other facilities are being notified of their impending moves and are being shuffled within various housing units in preparation for travel to Texas.

The IDOC has not yet announced the date the transfers to the short term facility will take place, nor the means or mode of transport. Indications are that these same prisoners will then be transferred to a long-term facility once contract negotiations have been completed.
