COMING SOON

The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) broke ground on a new Community Reentry Center (CRC) in Pocatello, expanding its existing network of five CRCs across the state. This new facility represents a continued commitment to public safety by providing individuals nearing release with structured support, job readiness, and community reintegration services that reduce recidivism and strengthen Idaho communities.

The project is part of Governor Brad Little’s broader public safety initiative aimed at reducing repeat offenses and enhancing rehabilitation efforts statewide. Funding for the Pocatello CRC was appropriated by the Idaho Legislature in 2022, reflecting a strong commitment to long-term, effective solutions.

Once complete, the Pocatello CRC will house up to 100 men classified as minimum custody. Community Reentry Centers are a vital part of IDOC’s strategy to reduce recidivism and promote positive outcomes for individuals preparing to transition back into society. Eligibility for CRC placement includes meeting specific criteria such as minimum custody classification, no pending felony charges or detainers, and a release date within 18 months. IDOC also considers institutional behavior, medical needs, and community ties when making placement decisions.

The Pocatello CRC represents a long-term investment in Idaho’s commitment to public safety and effective rehabilitation. Construction is underway, and the facility is expected to begin operations in late Fall 2026.

The Twin Falls Community Reentry Center (TFCRC) opened in 2020 and houses up to 160 male residents who are classified as minimum custody and nearing release.

TFCRC residents are afforded the privilege of treatment programs, support groups, community service, community-based employment, and other options to promote a positive and successful reentry into the community.
