Idaho News 6 previously reported on allegations of document mishandling and negligence at the Idaho State Correctional Center, raised by a correctional officer. Now, new documents obtained by our investigation show that these problems date back to at least 2020.
- These documents include internal memos and inmate complaints, highlighting that mail was often left undelivered or left in accessible areas where it could be stolen.
- Additionally, previous reports allege concern forms—critical for inmates to address issues like medical complaints and requests—were reportedly being discarded in “Shred-It” bins rather than being delivered.
- In an exclusive interview, former inmate Dominique Hicks described witnessing similar concerns, with medical requests and concern slips allegedly being ignored or mishandled during his time at the facility.

“I was in Idaho Correctional Center… They are not willing to look into anything; they don’t care,” says Dominique Hicks, a former inmate at the Idaho State Correctional Center.
