The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) "envisions a safer Idaho with fewer people in the correctional system” according to its mission statement.

To help incarcerated people find work, the agency is hosting job fairs for prison residents who will be released in the next six months. The first job fair will take place in July, with more planned for the near future.
