Statewide rules that apply at Idaho DOC prisons

These rules are set by Idaho DOC and apply at every unit. The full list — including all permitted and prohibited items and the approval process — is in Visiting in Idaho.

Dress code

Dress modestly — Idaho facilities enforce a visiting dress code that bars revealing, sheer, or provocative clothing, gang-related items, and anything resembling what residents or staff wear.
Each facility may turn away a visitor who is dressed out of code, and electronics are not allowed inside, so confirm the specific facility's rules before traveling.

ID: Every visitor must be on the resident's approved visiting list before visiting — the resident requests an application, the visitor mails it to the institution, and approval usually takes about two to four weeks after a background check. Bring a government-issued photo ID to each visit.
What to bring: Bring only what the facility allows — most personal items are not permitted in the visiting room. Money for a resident's account is sent through Access Corrections, never handed over at a visit.
Scheduling: Idaho has no statewide online scheduler for in-person visits — each facility sets its own visiting days and hours, so confirm with the specific institution. Men enter the system through the Reception and Diagnostic Unit at the Idaho State Correctional Institution (Kuna); women through the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center. Residents held out of state at the CoreCivic prisons in Arizona (the Saguaro Correctional Center and the Central Arizona Florence Correctional Complex) apply through an online form and visit on that prison's schedule.

Overview

St. Anthony Work Camp is a minimum- and community-custody prison for men operated by the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC). It is in St. Anthony, in Fremont County, in eastern Idaho.

The camp’s mission is paid employment. Residents hold jobs with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private employers in the surrounding community, which is intended to build work skills and savings ahead of release.

Getting There

St. Anthony Work Camp is at 125 N. 8th West in St. Anthony, in eastern Idaho. It is a long distance from the cluster of IDOC prisons in the Boise area, which is in the western part of the state. Visitors traveling from western Idaho should account for that drive.

Visitors confirm current entry procedures and what may be brought onto the grounds with the facility before arriving, because electronic devices and personal items are generally not permitted inside.

Visiting

Idaho arranges visiting at each facility, and there is no statewide online scheduler for in-person visits. Visiting requires an approved application first: a visitor submits an application to the institution, and approval normally takes about two to four weeks after the resident is classified and the background check clears. Confirm the current days and hours with the facility before traveling. See the Visiting in Idaho guide for the approval process, dress code, and what to expect.

Mail

Idaho does not use an off-site mail vendor for its state prisons. Incoming personal mail goes directly to the facility, where staff inspect it before delivery. Address personal mail with the resident’s committed name and IDOC number, the facility name, and the facility’s address:

[Resident’s full name and IDOC number] St. Anthony Work Camp 125 N. 8th West St. Anthony, ID 83445

See the Mail & Packages guide for what may be sent and what gets rejected.

Phones and Tablets

Phone service runs through ICSolutions, and residents use ViaPath tablets for tablet services and messaging. See the Phone & Video Calls and Sending Money guides for accounts, call costs, and how to add funds to a resident’s account.
