ICIO State Prison Releases
A person leaving ICIO on parole enters the community while still serving the sentence under IDOC supervision. The public detail may show In community, a supervising district, and Released to Supervision. Full completion can appear as Discharged [date]. Transfer to another prison is not community release.
Use exact labels. Sentence Satisfaction Date is the scheduled endpoint of an active sentence, while PED is the earliest parole consideration point. A Tentative Parole Date is conditional. None alone proves the exact physical departure time.
Confirm ICIO Release Status
Search the IDOC Resident/Client Search by last name or IDOC number. A last name needs at least two characters and an IDOC number at least three digits. Match birth year, ID, and record details before relying on a result.
- Search the statewide IDOC locator.
- Open the matched detail and record the status verbatim.
- Check Released to Supervision, Sentence Satisfaction Date, PED, and supervising district separately.
- If parole applies, review the Commission's decision notice.
- Use IDOC Sentencing Records for sentence calculation and history.
- Contact ICIO or the displayed supervision office to verify the current path.
The Clearwater County release search explains why county records do not substitute for this state route.

IDOC's exact labels describe different stages. In custody means IDOC still reports active custody and a location. In community means the person is outside prison under an active IDOC relationship, usually parole or felony probation. Released to Supervision is a past placement date, not the date the whole sentence ended. Sentence Satisfaction Date is the sentence endpoint displayed on an active row. A results-level Discharged [date] is stronger evidence that IDOC jurisdiction ended.
A Parole Eligibility Date is only the earliest point for consideration after the fixed portion of an Idaho unified sentence. The Commission's Tentative Parole Date follows favorable action but remains conditional. Programs, an approved parole plan, paperwork, discipline, detainers, or later Commission action may affect the path. Idaho does not use a universal modern “serve 85 percent” rule, so do not estimate an ICIO exit by subtracting a flat percentage. The Release Date Lookup separates each official date.
| IDOC label | Accurate meaning |
|---|---|
| In community | Outside prison but still within active IDOC jurisdiction |
| Released to Supervision | Most recent court or Commission placement on supervision |
| Sentence Satisfaction Date | Displayed endpoint of the active sentence |
| Discharged [date] | Displayed completion of IDOC jurisdiction |
Request ICIO Release Records
The public search is not a certified sentence history. For sentence calculations, judgments, jail or retained-jurisdiction credit, parole forfeiture, or disputed dates, use IDOC Sentencing Records. A formal public request can go through IDOC JustFOIA. Identify the full name, IDOC number, date range, requested release or discharge event, sentence computation, parole record, and preferred electronic format. Ask for a releasable identifying photograph only when relevant; do not assume one must be disclosed.
IDOC also provides a Request for Information route for errors in the public display. That channel fits a wrong status or date shown online, especially when the request includes a judgment or other record supporting the correction. Sentencing Records fits official calculations and history. If no search result appears, retry the name and IDOC number before concluding anything. People who satisfied an IDOC sentence can remain searchable even though IDOC says their conviction details no longer display.
Supervision After ICIO Release
A person paroled from ICIO may live and report anywhere an approved plan places him. Do not assume the person remains in Clearwater County. Open the live client detail and use the supervising district, officer, telephone, and active sentence rows shown there. If District 2 or Clearwater applies, the Orofino satellite at 155 Main Street, Suite 2, 208-476-4357 is a local verification route. The District 2 main office is in Lewiston.
Parole is conditional release from the prison portion of a sentence. Probation is imposed by a court and does not always follow prison. An Active Bench Warrant, violator status, or absconder-type entry should not be summarized as an ordinary successful release. Check IDOC, county custody, and the court docket together. The Post-Release Supervision page explains the distinct Commission, IDOC, and local office roles.
ICIO Records and Contact
ICIO can answer institution-specific questions. IDOC Sentencing Records and the public-record portal handle deeper sentence and historical records.

For a formal request, identify the person and IDOC number, the date range, the exact sentence or movement record sought, and the preferred format. Public-display inaccuracies use IDOC's Request for Information route; formal record retrieval uses Sentencing Records or JustFOIA. Mixing those channels can slow correction.
About the ICIO Facility
IDOC describes ICIO as a state prison for up to 580 men, primarily in medium custody. It also has protective-custody capacity and the adjacent Givens Hall work camp. Those institutional roles differ from the nearby local courthouse jail, which handles county bookings and shorter local custody.
Two Orofino Custody Systems
Clearwater County Jail and ICIO are physically near each other but create different records. A county-jail exit belongs to the Sheriff movement log and local court case. An ICIO release belongs to IDOC statewide status, sentence, and parole records.
| Facility | Correct release path |
|---|---|
| Clearwater County Jail | Sheriff and iCourt |
| Idaho Correctional Institution–Orofino | IDOC search, Sentencing Records, Commission decisions |
This local distinction prevents a prison parole from being placed in a county recent-release list.
ICIO Parole Release Records
The Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole decides whether to grant parole. A weekly decision may state a tentative date, denial, deferral, or reconsideration. A grant is not yet a completed release. Programs, an approved plan, paperwork, detainers, and final processing may remain.
After release, the IDOC detail may name the supervising district and officer. District 2 covers Clearwater County and has an Orofino satellite at 155 Main Street, Suite 2, telephone 208-476-4357. The office shown on the live client record controls if supervision is assigned elsewhere.
Orofino Resources After ICIO Release
IDOC District 2 resource tools list Orofino food, clothing, health, recovery, and transportation contacts. Fish, INC. offers clothing and hygiene support; Lifeline Food Bank is a food source; Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics provides round-the-clock medical access; Changepoint offers recovery services.
Appaloosa Express is listed at 208-621-4691 with weekday service, but no official source says it stops at ICIO, waits for releases, or follows prison schedules. Call both the provider and institution before relying on it.

ICIO Parole Decision Limits
The Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole posts hearing schedules and Notices of Action Taken. Search a decision notice by name or IDOC number. The result may show a grant with a tentative date, denial, deferral, continuance, reconsideration, or a revocation-related action. Preserve the notice's own words. A grant is evidence of the Commission's decision, not evidence that the person has walked out of ICIO.
After favorable action, check for the later IDOC status change. In community and a Released to Supervision date support the completed move to community supervision. If the person still appears in custody, ask IDOC about the current record rather than predicting an exit. A new hold, incomplete plan, required program, or other processing issue can keep a tentative date from becoming the actual release event.
Missing ICIO Search Results
A missing or abbreviated IDOC result has a limited meaning. Retry the last name using at least two characters or the IDOC number using at least three digits, then compare birth year and identifier. A discharged person's name may remain while conviction rows disappear under IDOC's stated practice. Use the court case and IDOC number to request the older judgment and sentence record.
Do not switch to the Clearwater County Sheriff's release record merely because the IDOC search is unclear. The sheriff did not create ICIO's prison movement. VINE can provide an agency-fed custody alert, but it does not replace IDOC Sentencing Records. Keep the Commission decision, public status, formal sentence record, and supervision office in their proper roles. Together they distinguish a transfer, parole placement, active warrant, and full discharge.
