IDOC Supervision in Boundary County
Idaho separates parole decisions, court probation, and day-to-day state supervision. The Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole decides parole. Courts govern probation. IDOC supervises adult felony probationers and parolees. District 1 covers Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone counties.
The Bonners Ferry satellite provides a local District 1 contact for Boundary County. It is not a place of confinement and does not issue a county jail roster. Its record can help verify active felony community supervision after the state search identifies the person and supervising district.
Verify IDOC Community Supervision
Start with the IDOC Resident/Client Search. The public database covers people under IDOC jurisdiction in prison, on felony probation, or on parole, and it also returns some discharged names. Match identity before using the office information.
- Search with at least two last-name characters and optional first name, or at least three digits of the IDOC number.
- Compare the IDOC number, middle name, and birth year across plausible rows.
- Open a result marked
In communityand inspect each active sentence row. - Identify whether the row says Parole or Probation and note the Supervising District.
- Read Released to Supervision and Sentence Satisfaction Date as separate fields.
- Call the Bonners Ferry satellite when District 1 is shown and current local clarification is needed.
IDOC says the search updates daily and warns that rapidly changing data can lag. Save the displayed status and the time checked. An office call can clarify the current routing, but an official historical record may require IDOC's records process.
Read IDOC Boundary County Status
The overall top status and sentence-row status are not the same field. A top result marked In community indicates active community jurisdiction. The sentence row then distinguishes parole from probation and connects the record to a sentencing county and case number.
| IDOC item | Meaning |
|---|---|
| In community | The person is outside prison but remains in active IDOC jurisdiction. |
| Parole | Conditional community placement during an active state sentence. |
| Probation | Adult felony community supervision ordered by a court. |
| Released to Supervision | The most recent placement on a period of supervision. |
| Sentence Satisfaction Date | The end date tied to the active sentence context. |
| Supervising District | The IDOC district responsible for community supervision. |
| Discharged with date | The clearer public marker that the displayed IDOC sentence was satisfied. |
Do not translate In community into discharged. Likewise, Released to Supervision is not a generic county jail release timestamp and may reflect a later placement after revocation.
Bonners Ferry IDOC Satellite Contact
IDOC lists the District 1 Bonners Ferry satellite at 6566 Main Street, Bonners Ferry, with telephone 208-267-7983. No official walk-in hours, online check-in method, or visit protocol was published in the researched source. Call before going to the office.
6566 Main Street
Bonners Ferry, ID
208-267-7983
Call first for current office procedure
The District 1 main office is at 202 E Anton Avenue, Suite 100, Coeur d'Alene, with telephone 208-769-1444. Use the supervising district and direct instructions to decide which location handles the question. Do not assume every District 1 record is managed at the satellite.
IDOC and Community Justice Share an Address
The IDOC satellite and Boundary County Community Justice are both listed at 6566 Main Street and share the researched telephone number. They are still different agencies with different adult supervision roles. State felony supervision belongs to IDOC. County misdemeanor probation and eligible pretrial supervision belong to Community Justice.
| Question | Responsible office |
|---|---|
| Is an adult on felony parole? | IDOC search and the listed District 1 office. |
| Is an adult on felony probation? | IDOC search, judgment, and the listed District 1 office. |
| Is an adult in county pretrial services? | Boundary County Community Justice and the court case. |
| Is an adult serving misdemeanor probation? | Boundary County Community Justice and the judgment. |
| When did Boundary County Jail custody end? | Boundary County Sheriff booking and release record. |
Name the agency and supervision class when calling. A shared address is not enough to route the request.
IDOC Supervision Is Not Jail Release
A person can be under IDOC jurisdiction while physically held at Boundary County Jail. An official IDOC detail used in the research demonstrates this arrangement and tells readers to contact the listed holding agency for physical questions. The top status remains In custody, so the person should not be described as released.
A move from Boundary County Jail into IDOC custody closes the county event but is a transfer, not community release. Later, an IDOC institution can release the person to supervision. These events need separate dates and responsible agencies.
For the county transaction, call the Sheriff at 208-267-3151. For a state prison release or sentence calculation, use IDOC. For active local felony supervision, use the District 1 record and office.
Parole Versus Felony Probation
Parole follows release from state prison during an active sentence and is decided by the Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole. Felony probation is ordered by a court and may place a person in the community without an IDOC prison term for that case. Both can appear under the top IDOC status In community.
Open each sentence row rather than assuming the supervision type. A person can have multiple cases, and the rows can carry different statuses and dates. Use Sentencing County and Case No. to connect each row to the correct court record.
Parole Eligibility Date and Next Parole Hearing Date are not actual release dates. A Commission tentative parole date also remains conditional. The Released to Supervision field is the stronger historical community-placement field once an actual placement occurred.
Boundary County Warrant Status
IDOC results may display Active Bench Warrant or other warrant-related status. That is not ordinary community supervision and not discharge. Contact the responsible agency rather than interpreting the label as a completed sentence.
IDOC's Most Wanted display is selective, not a complete list of Boundary County absconders. IDOC directs searches for other people to the Resident/Client Search. Absence from the Most Wanted page has no release meaning.
Idaho Code ยง20-1007 can affect full-term calculation for qualifying absconding time under the statutory conditions. Do not calculate a new date from the public label. Ask IDOC for the official record when the sentence timeline is disputed.
Records Beyond the Bonners Ferry Office
The public IDOC search is suited to navigation and current status, not certification. For sentence calculations or additional state records, use IDOC's Request for Information or Sentencing Records route. That unit reviews judgments, calculates sentences, applies jail and retained-jurisdiction credit, processes parole forfeiture, and maintains sentence information.
IDOC's main researched contact is 1299 N Orchard Street, Suite 110, Boise, with telephone 208-658-2000. Identify the person and IDOC number and ask for the record needed to explain the displayed field. No specific fee or discharged-record retention schedule was located.
A dispute about the judgment belongs in court, while a question about IDOC calculation data belongs with IDOC. The satellite cannot change a judicial sentence or convert parole eligibility into a guaranteed release date.
When IDOC Supervision Ends
A future Sentence Satisfaction Date on an active detail should not be reported as if discharge already occurred. IDOC data can change, and a warrant, violation, revocation, court event, or corrected calculation can affect the record. Check again after the date and seek an official record when needed.
A result shown as Discharged MM/DD/YYYY* is the clearest public IDOC completion marker described in the research. IDOC notes that names of people who served time and satisfied the sentence appear while convictions do not. Keep that limitation with the result.
No public retention guarantee was found for discharged rows. Say the record was displayed when checked rather than promising permanent search availability.
District 1 Verification Boundaries
The Bonners Ferry satellite cannot verify a Boundary County misdemeanor probation record, county pretrial placement, BOP release, ICE custody, or the exact departure time from a jail. Those questions belong to Community Justice, the Sheriff, a federal system, or the physical facility.
Use more than a name when contacting the office. An IDOC number, birth year, case number, and sentencing county reduce mistaken identity. If fields conflict, ask the record owner to correct or explain them rather than combining two records.
The strongest supervision finding names the source, date checked, exact IDOC status, sentence-row type, and supervising district. That precise wording establishes what District 1 can support without overstating the person's broader custody history.
