St. Anthony Re-entry Center, ID

Visiting at St. Anthony Re-entry Center starts before you arrive. Review the Visiting Rules and complete the Visiting Application—both are posted on the facility's Visiting Application page, which is also where you'll find schedule updates. First-time visitors typically need to submit the application, pass a background check, and wait for formal approval before scheduling. Idaho facilities may offer in-person, non-contact, or video visits, but available formats and scheduling vary. Confirm current options and hours with the facility before you go. Bring valid photo ID if you're an adult. Minors often need a separate minor application plus documents like a birth certificate or guardianship paperwork. If you're on probation or parole, get written approval from your supervising officer first. Don't attempt to visit if you're on a no-contact list for the resident.

Mail rules at St. Anthony Re-entry Center are strict—keeping it simple helps your letter get through. Residents can receive letters and photos only. No packages, no Polaroids, and no photos showing nudity. All personal mail is opened and searched for contraband; items that don't meet the rules may be returned or turned over to authorities. Don't include stamps or outside stationery—those aren't allowed. Residents with funds must purchase envelopes and postage through commissary, while indigent residents get stationery and postage for one personal letter per week. Legal mail is handled by facility resource center staff (or a designee) and opened in the resident's presence without being read, though it may be scanned. Publications must come directly from the publisher or an IDOC-approved vendor. Amazon isn't approved.

St. Anthony Re-entry Center uses Access Corrections for trust-account deposits and probation/parole payments—including court-ordered obligations, bail, and other payments.

Electronic payments accept Mastercard and VISA. Prefer cash? Register for CashPay and make walk-in deposits at participating retailers like CVS, Dollar General, Family Dollar, 7‑Eleven, and Walgreens. Checks or money orders can be mailed to the Secure Deposits lockbox—note that in-facility residents and community-based (probation/parole) payments use different lockbox addressees. Funds typically go toward commissary, phone, and other resident expenses.

St. Anthony Work Camp (SAWC) is a 400-bed facility for minimum- and community-custody men, focused on supervised reentry through structured employment. Residents can work full-time in paid positions with government, nonprofit, and private employers—building work habits and job skills that matter after release. Services like work assignments, reentry programming, and commissary are provided through a mix of facility operations and third-party vendors. What's available depends on custody level and local contracts. One important note on contraband: under Idaho Code 18-5210, knowingly introducing or possessing contraband in a correctional facility is a crime. Penalties can include up to five years in prison and/or fines up to $10,000.
