Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Overview
The Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center facility page identifies IF-CRC as an Idaho Department of Correction community reentry center. It opened in 1996 and houses male residents who are classified as minimum custody and nearing release. That status makes the facility different from the Bonneville County Jail. The county jail receives adults after local arrest and holds pretrial or local sentenced inmates. IF-CRC holds IDOC residents who are already under state correctional jurisdiction.
IDOC describes community reentry centers as facilities that support residents as they move toward release. The Idaho Falls center may involve treatment programs, support groups, community service, community-based employment, and other reentry options. A resident may be in the community for work or approved programming while still under IDOC rules. That does not make the center an open public shelter or a county work-release dorm. It remains an IDOC custody setting with state rules for search, visitation, mail, and approval.
The official IDOC facility page is the matching source for the Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center image.
The facility page is also the source for the capacity, address, phone, visitation application routing, and posted weekend visitation schedule.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Capacity
IDOC says Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center houses up to 112 male residents. No current daily count for IF-CRC was found in the official sources, so the capacity figure should not be treated as a live population. A person can be assigned to IDOC custody, supervision, or a different IDOC location while still appearing in the statewide Resident/Client Search.
Bonneville County has no IDOC state prison physically inside the county according to IDOC prison-location listings. IF-CRC is the local IDOC facility, but it is a community reentry center, not the place to search for a new Idaho Falls arrest. A new arrest normally routes first to the county jail if adult local custody applies. After sentencing or IDOC placement, the state locator becomes the better search path.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Lookup
The correct lookup channel is the IDOC Resident/Client Search. IDOC says the search covers individuals on court probation or under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarcerated residents, probation, and parole. It can show a person's status, offense, sentencing county, case number, sentence status, released-to-supervision date, sentence satisfaction date, and parole eligibility date where applicable. IDOC also warns that the database is updated daily but may not reflect current location or status.
- Open the IDOC Resident/Client Search for state custody, probation, parole, or reentry-center placement.
- Search by last name or IDOC number; IDOC requires one of those two fields.
- Use first name to narrow common-name results and review status or location fields carefully.
- Contact IDOC or the facility if the search result does not match the expected location or current status.
The Bonneville County Jail roster should be used only for current adult county jail custody. A person at IF-CRC may have a Bonneville County conviction, a different sentencing county, or statewide IDOC supervision. The county roster and IDOC locator therefore answer different questions.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Contact
IF-CRC publishes a direct facility address and phone number. Visitation applications for residents are sent to the IF-CRC Visiting Supervisor at the same facility address. For basic record questions, IDOC directs users to IDOC Records Information when copies or basic record information are needed. Current custody and visit status should be confirmed with the facility before a visitor travels.

IDOC minimum-custody reentry center
The local IDOC District 7 Probation and Parole office also serves Bonneville County from 2225 W. Broadway St., Suite A, Idaho Falls, ID 83402, phone 208-528-4220. That office is separate from IF-CRC but may be relevant when a person is under IDOC community supervision rather than housed at the center.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Visits
IDOC visitation for IF-CRC requires facility-specific approval and scheduling rules. Visitation applications for IF-CRC residents are sent to the IF-CRC Visiting Supervisor. The posted schedule says that, starting January 21, 2023, visiting hours are Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors may check in any time during those hours. Schedules can change for emergencies, and special visits require advance approval by the CRC manager or designee.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 11 a.m.-3 p.m. | IDOC resident visitation, approval required |
| Sunday | 11 a.m.-3 p.m. | IDOC resident visitation, approval required |
| Special visits | By advance approval | CRC manager or designee approval required |
Visitors should not use Bonneville County Jail visitation rules for IF-CRC. The adult jail uses Telmate and GettingOut video visitation. IF-CRC is an IDOC facility, so visitors should follow IDOC and facility instructions, including any application, dress, contraband, and emergency schedule rules.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Mail
The official IF-CRC facility page documents the address and visitation application mailing route but does not include an IDOC money-deposit vendor or fee table specific to Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center. Because IDOC rules can differ from county jail rules, money, mail, and package questions should be confirmed through IDOC or IF-CRC before sending funds or items. The Bonneville County Jail's Access Corrections and Earth Class mail-scanning rules should not be copied to IF-CRC unless IDOC says to use those channels.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Facility mail and applications | Use Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center, 3955 Bombardier Ave., Idaho Falls, ID 83402. |
| Resident lookup | IDOC Resident/Client Search, not the Bonneville County Jail roster. |
| Money or fee table | No official IF-CRC fee table was published in the official source. |
Idaho Code 18-2510 is cited in IDOC facility context for correctional-facility contraband. Visitors, family, and employers should treat mail, packages, tools, electronics, medications, and other items as controlled unless IDOC or IF-CRC gives clear approval.
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center Intake
IF-CRC intake is not street-arrest booking. A person generally reaches this channel through IDOC classification and reentry placement after being under state correctional jurisdiction. The public search clue is the IDOC status, not a county booking photo or jail roster row. IDOC residents at reentry centers may be close to release, in treatment or support programs, employed in the community, doing community service, or moving toward supervision.
Classification terms should be read plainly. Minimum custody means IDOC has assessed the resident for a lower security setting than a prison unit, but the person is still under correctional rules. Reentry means the placement is meant to help a resident return to the community with structure. Work release or community employment means approved activity, not release from IDOC authority.
About Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center
Idaho Falls Community Reentry Center is the key state-corrections facility physically located in Bonneville County. IDOC location listings verify that there is no state prison in the county, while IF-CRC fills the local reentry role. That distinction prevents common search mistakes. Someone newly arrested in Idaho Falls should be checked through Bonneville County Jail. Someone sentenced to state custody, on probation or parole, or nearing release through a community center belongs in the IDOC search path.
The facility's program purpose is reentry. IDOC lists treatment programs, support groups, community service, community-based employment, and related options. The center's public identity is therefore tied to transition, not pretrial booking. For broader county inmate population context, the Bonneville County inmate population hub explains how county jail, juvenile detention, IDOC, federal, and ICE custody channels fit together.
Note: Confirm IDOC resident location, visiting approval, and schedule changes with IF-CRC before traveling to the facility.
