KCCC phone service suspended

Idaho inmates incarcerated at Kit Carson Correctional Center in Burlington, Colo. are unable to make phone calls while correctional officers conduct their annual search for contraband at the facility. 

The facility was locked down on Monday. The search will continue through Wednesday. Phone service and visiting for Idaho inmates will resume as scheduled on Thursday.

The Idaho Department of Correction has 234 male inmates at KCCC due to a shortage of beds in Idaho
