Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino was originally a state school and mental health facility. A new wing was added in 1988. ICIO is designed to house up to 580 male residents. The facility primarily houses medium-custody residents but also houses protective-custody residents. Givens Hall, a unit adjacent to the compound, serves as a work camp. ICIO offers vocational work programs, education and other programming opportunities.
