Idaho State Correctional Institution Inmate Records

Idaho State Correctional Institution is a medium-security men's prison operated by the Idaho Department of Correction at 13500 S. Pleasant Valley Road in Kuna. IDOC lists Nick Baird as warden and gives the facility a capacity of 1,446. ISCI also has a reception and diagnostic unit, which the research identifies as the entry point for all men entering Idaho's prison system.

The reception role makes ISCI different from other Ada County IDOC facilities. A person sentenced from Ada County may pass through ISCI for intake, diagnostic review, classification, and placement before being assigned to another Idaho prison. During that stage, public location data may lag, and IDOC says visitors should check back if no mailing address is shown. IDOC also notes that visiting is not allowed during the reception and diagnostic process.

Idaho State Correctional Institution Lookup

The correct lookup tool is IDOC Resident/Client Search. IDOC says the database covers people under department jurisdiction, including residents in custody, probation clients, and parole clients. It can show an IDOC number, name, birth year, status, location or mailing data, and felony listings for a person who is serving time.

ISCI results require extra care because reception and diagnostic processing can be temporary. A result may show a mailing address after arrival, but IDOC warns that the database may not reflect a current location, current status, scheduled termination date, or other information in real time. If a person was recently sentenced from Ada County Jail, check the state search again after the transfer has been processed.

1. Search IDOC by last name or IDOC number.
2. Use first name only to narrow a common-name result.
3. Confirm whether the location is ISCI or another IDOC prison.
4. Do not use Ada County bond or jail-video rules once IDOC custody is confirmed.

Idaho State Correctional Institution Contact

Use ISCI contact details for facility-specific questions after the IDOC locator confirms the resident's location. County jail staff cannot approve ISCI visits, change an IDOC mailing address, or post state-prison account funds. The Ada County roster is still useful for the booking stage, but it is not the continuing source once the person enters state custody.

Idaho State Correctional Institution Source

The official ISCI page provides the facility address, capacity, reception role, medical unit, Correctional Industries workspace, and visiting limitation for reception residents.

The image supports the key distinction for search users: ISCI is an IDOC facility, so state resident records govern after transfer from county custody.

Idaho State Correctional Institution Visiting

ISCI visiting follows IDOC visiting rules. The most important facility-specific caveat is reception. IDOC notes that visiting is not allowed during the reception and diagnostic process. Families who find a person at ISCI soon after sentencing should not assume the person can receive ordinary visits right away.

For residents outside the reception process, use the IDOC visiting page and the facility's current schedule. IDOC pages warn that schedules can change because of emergency situations. Ada County Jail public video visitation, the GettingOut free-visit allowance, and the Ada County professional VVS system do not apply to ISCI residents.

Idaho State Correctional Institution Mail

Mail, accounts, and phone access are handled through IDOC resident services. Use IDOC mail guidelines, resident accounts, and phone services. ISCI mail should use the IDOC mailing address and resident identifiers confirmed through state sources.

Ada County Jail's Phoenix scanned-mail address is not for ISCI. Ada County commissary, iCare, Telemate, and bond lobby procedures are county jail procedures. For an ISCI resident, check the IDOC account and communication rules instead, especially if the person is in reception and a mailing address has not yet posted.

ISCI Ada County Custody Split

ISCI is one reason Ada County inmate searches can feel fragmented. The county jail may show a person during arrest, booking, first appearance, or local sentence custody. Once a male resident enters IDOC reception at ISCI, the state locator becomes the controlling public search. That is true even if the criminal case began in Ada County.

The reception and diagnostic role also affects timing. A recent Ada County sentence may not turn into a stable facility assignment right away. ISCI may be the first IDOC location while staff complete intake, medical review, security classification, and placement decisions. During that window, the absence of ordinary visiting or a posted mailing address should not be read as a release. It may mean the resident is still being processed. Recheck IDOC rather than relying on the last county roster entry, because the sheriff's roster is not built to track state reception movement.

For common names, use the IDOC number when possible. If only a name is known, compare birth year and status carefully, because Ada County's roster uses age and JID while IDOC uses state identifiers and birth year.

The Ada County jail inmate records page is the better route for sheriff custody. The Ada County inmate population overview explains how the local jail count differs from the state prison footprint in Kuna and Boise. VINELink may help with some custody notifications, but Idaho parole materials note that IDOC VINE service is not active while restoration work continues.
