Only a handful of inmates have already been sentenced. Out of the inmates who have been sentenced, they only typically carry a 2 year or less sentence.

Not all inmates in the Boise County Jail are residents of Boise County. The facility will accept many inmates on a local, state, and even federal level. They frequently take in inmates from Idaho City Police Department as they do not have their own lock-up area.

Inmates will have the opportunity to become a  trusted inmate. Being a trusted inmate would allow you to work as laundry personnel, in the kitchen, or an orderly. This comes with a small salary and even could shave a few days off their sentence.
