ID: the corrections

From the Boise Weekly, From the Street to the Cell - Criminalizing the mentally ill:

Idaho's largest psychiatric institution isn't either of the state hospitals in Blackfoot or Orofino. It looms behind barbed wire fences on Pleasant Valley Road, just a few miles into the desert south of Boise. Its entrance gate bears the title, "Idaho State Correctional Facility."

The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) estimates 26 percent of Idaho's 17,550 convicted offenders suffer from a diagnosable mental illness.. For unexplained reasons, Idaho's percentages are higher than the rest of the American state and federal correctional system...
