Idaho Correctional Industries (ICI) programs benefit by providing better public safety in our prisons and communities. They improve prison security by keeping Residents active and engaged while incarcerated and provide Residents who will return to our communities with opportunities to learn life and job skills and develop a work ethic that enables them to become productive employees, good neighbors and law-abiding, tax-paying citizens. The Resident training program is closely modeled after the real world. Employability and technical skills are developed and applied daily both within and out of prison.
