Idaho Maximum Security

Before you can visit someone at Idaho Maximum Security Institution (IMSI), you'll need to submit a visiting application and pass a background check. Review IMSI's Visiting Rules and wait for formal approval. Staff will notify the resident once you're cleared. For visitors 17 or younger, a parent or guardian must submit a separate visiting application along with certified documentation like the minor's birth certificate or applicable court documents. Once approved, the process is straightforward: apply, pass the background check, then book your visit. Before you travel, confirm the current visiting hours and bring valid photo ID plus any required paperwork. Visiting formats and schedules can change during emergency situations, so always double-check before heading out.

Money sent to someone at Idaho Maximum Security goes through the Idaho Department of Correction's vendor, Access Corrections, not through the facility directly. You can deposit into a resident's trust account using the Access Corrections website, mobile app, or by calling 866-345-1884. Additional options may include phone deposits, on-site kiosks where available, and retail cash barcode deposits at participating stores. These funds can cover commissary purchases, phone use, and certain medical or court-ordered obligations when allowed by policy. Before submitting a payment, have the resident's full name and facility ID (Name Number) ready, and make sure you've selected the correct agency or program. If you're setting up recurring electronic transfers, you may need to provide verification documents during setup.
