Death Row

Offenders under the sentence of death are held at IMSI.

Fourteen offenders are under the sentence of death in Idaho - - 13 men and one woman. The men are incarcerated at Idaho Maximum Security Institution south of Boise. The woman, Robin Row, is incarcerated at Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center in Pocatello.

Twenty-eight people have been executed in Idaho since 1864. The last execution was on November 11, 2011. The inmate, Paul Ezra Rhoades, was executed by lethal injection for two murders in Bonneville and Bingham counties in 1998. The Idaho Attorney General's Office periodically issues a summary of the status of all of the death penalty cases that have been litigated since Idaho's death penalty law was revised in 1977.

Offenders under the sentence of death are kept in their cells 23 hours a day. They have the option of being in an outside recreation area for one hour a day. The only other time inmates are out of their 12-foot by seven-foot cells is when they are escorted to the shower, meeting with an attorney or being given medical care. Their hands are always restrained while they are being moved from one location to another.
