Locate Idaho Correctional Institution Orofino Inmates

ICIO State Prison Overview

The official IDOC facility page for Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino identifies ICIO as an Idaho Department of Correction prison in Orofino. It is physically in Clearwater County, but it is not operated by the Clearwater County Sheriff's Office. That point should control every inmate lookup. A person held at ICIO is searched through the statewide IDOC Resident/Client Search, not through the county jail phone, sheriff app, or county VINE page.

IDOC describes ICIO as a facility that was originally a state school and mental health facility, with a new wing added in 1988. The prison is designed for up to 580 male residents. It primarily houses medium-custody residents and also houses protective-custody residents. Givens Hall, a unit adjacent to the main compound, serves as a work camp. IDOC also says ICIO offers vocational work programs, education, and other programming opportunities.

IDOC's ICIO facility page is the source for the prison's role, address, custody profile, contact point, and facility-specific visiting links.

The ICIO page confirms that the prison is a state facility with IDOC rules, so county jail roster assumptions do not fit this facility.

ICIO Capacity and Population

IDOC lists Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino as designed to house up to 580 male residents. The IDOC FY2025 Incarcerated Population Report gives a more detailed count for the prison as of June 30, 2025. That report lists ICIO with 0 parole violators, 2 riders, and 575 termers for FY2025. The same report's comparison line listed FY2024 at 0 parole violators, 5 riders, and 567 termers. These are state-prison population figures, not Clearwater County Jail counts.

The term "rider" is Idaho correctional usage for a retained-jurisdiction resident, often tied to a court-ordered treatment or programming period before the court makes a final sentencing decision. "Termers" are residents serving a prison term. For search purposes, both groups belong in the IDOC locator rather than a county jail custody list. A Clearwater County inmate population search can include ICIO as a facility physically in the county, but ICIO residents are state correctional residents and are not local jail detainees.

Search ICIO Inmate Records

The correct lookup for Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino is the IDOC Resident/Client Search. IDOC says the database covers people on court probation or under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarcerated residents, probationers, and parolees. It may also show names of people who have served time and satisfied their sentence, although completed convictions will not be shown in the same way. IDOC updates the database daily, but warns that location, status, and scheduled termination data can change quickly.

Do not use the Clearwater County Sheriff ID app as the primary lookup for ICIO. The sheriff app is tied to county sheriff information and the county jail custody list. Once a person has been sentenced to state prison or is otherwise in IDOC jurisdiction, the IDOC locator is the correct source. If no mailing address appears in the IDOC result, IDOC advises checking back after the person arrives and the database updates.

1. Open the IDOC Resident/Client Search and choose a name or IDOC number search.
2. Enter at least the first two characters of the last name, or at least the first three digits of an IDOC number.
3. Add a first name when needed to narrow common-name results.
4. Review the result for status, IDOC number, and whether the location points to ICIO.
5. Open the detail profile for mailing address, offense, sentencing county, case number, sentence status, and parole-related dates when shown.

The IDOC Resident/Client Search page is the official statewide locator for ICIO residents and other people under IDOC jurisdiction.

The locator screenshot fits ICIO because state prison custody is searched by IDOC number or name, not by a county jail booking roster.

ICIO Locator Fields

IDOC allows a search by last name or IDOC number. A first name can narrow a name search but is not the only way to run it. Partial searches are allowed, which helps when a family member has an uncertain spelling or only part of an IDOC number. Results and detail pages may show IDOC number, name, birth year or age, status, mailing address when available, phone number, a data-current timestamp, offense, sentencing county, case number, sentence status, release-to-supervision date, sentence satisfaction date, parole eligibility, and next parole hearing when applicable.

ICIO Address and Contact

Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino is reached through IDOC, not the Clearwater County Sheriff's Office. Use the prison contact information for facility questions, visiting schedule questions, and prison-specific resident services. Use IDOC central resident-service pages for the most current money, mail, and phone rules. The local county jail phone is not the right place to verify an ICIO resident's prison housing or IDOC sentence status.

ICIO Visiting Rules

ICIO visiting follows IDOC prison rules and the ICIO visiting schedule, not Clearwater County Jail visiting hours. IDOC facility material warns that schedules are subject to change because of emergency situations. State prison visitors generally must follow the IDOC visiting rules and application process before a visit is approved. That means family or friends should confirm approval, schedule, visitor status, dress rules, identification, and any special restrictions before traveling to West Hospital Drive in Orofino.

Contraband rules are a major part of IDOC facility visiting. IDOC facility pages cite Idaho Code 18-5210, which makes contraband in correctional facilities a crime. The listed contraband examples include tobacco, cell phones and other telecommunication equipment, controlled substances, firearms, dangerous weapons, ammunition, explosives, and tools or devices that could aid escape. IDOC warns that violations may be punished by imprisonment up to five years and/or a fine up to $10,000.

Note: Verify the current ICIO visiting schedule and visitor approval status through IDOC before making the trip to Orofino.

ICIO Mail and Money

Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino uses IDOC resident-services rules for mail, money deposits, phone service, and tablet communication. IDOC partners with Access Corrections for resident deposits. The documented deposit options include the Access Corrections app, accesscorrections.com, 866-345-1884, walk-in retail options through a cashpaytoday barcode, and a lockbox. Mail deposits for prison residents go to Secure Deposits-Idaho DOC, PO Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. These are state prison channels and should not be mixed with Clearwater County Jail's local card-payment process.

For ordinary mail, use IDOC mail guidelines rather than county jail rules. Mail rules can cover sender information, content restrictions, publications, legal mail, photos, enclosures, and rejection procedures. IDOC phone and tablet rules also control how residents communicate. People sending money or mail should confirm the resident's current IDOC location and mailing address through the Resident/Client Search first, because IDOC warns that location and status can change quickly.

ICIO vs Clearwater County Jail

Clearwater County has both a small courthouse jail and a state prison in Orofino. The shared geography can confuse searches. Clearwater County Jail handles local adult arrests, pretrial detainees, short local sentences, and related county holds under the sheriff. Idaho Correctional Institution - Orofino handles sentenced state residents and other IDOC residents under the Idaho Department of Correction. A person can move from county jail to IDOC after sentencing, but the lookup system changes when that transfer occurs.

Once a person has moved into state correctional custody, county jail pages and county booking channels may no longer show the person as held locally. For local arrest custody before state transfer, the Clearwater County jail inmate records channel is the better starting point.

ICIO Programs and Work Camp

IDOC describes ICIO as offering vocational work programs, education, and other programming opportunities. Givens Hall, adjacent to the compound, serves as a work camp. Those details matter because ICIO is not just a lookup record. It is a state prison with custody levels, programming, work opportunities, and IDOC-managed resident services. The exact program assignment for a resident is not confirmed by a county jail roster or a public court case alone. It must be confirmed through IDOC channels or the resident's official IDOC profile and facility communications.

The IDOC prison locations list places ICIO within the statewide prison system and helps distinguish it from nearby or county facilities.

The statewide locations list is useful when a search result names a prison but the reader needs to confirm which IDOC facility is involved.
