Nampa Community Reentry Center Overview
Nampa Community Reentry Center is operated by the Idaho Department of Correction at 1640 11th Avenue North in Nampa. IDOC describes community reentry centers as residential facilities that provide structured transitional environments for individuals nearing release or parole. The focus is accountability, employment, treatment, life skills, work release, community service, and cognitive-behavioral programming.
The 2025 PREA audit identifies Nampa CRC as a community confinement facility with minimum custody or security level. It lists the population designation as men/boys, an age range of 20 to 71, 15 staff with resident contact, 10 contractors, and 12 volunteers. The audit also identifies facility director Arturo Lechuga and primary contact Erein Saldana.
The IDOC community reentry centers page lists Nampa CRC's address, phone number, and statewide CRC role.
The IDOC listing confirms that Nampa CRC belongs to state corrections, so county jail lookup tools are the wrong search path for this facility.
This distinction is especially important after sentencing. A person may begin in Canyon County jail custody after arrest, appear on the county roster, and then move into IDOC jurisdiction after a court sentence or supervision decision. Once that transition happens, the county roster may no longer be the current location source. IDOC status, location, and mailing information should be checked through the state database and facility contact line.
Nampa Community Reentry Center Capacity and Population
The IDOC Nampa CRC 2025 PREA audit, final report dated October 30, 2025, lists designed capacity at 115, current population at 115, and average daily population over the prior 12 months at 114. The same audit says the facility was not over capacity in the prior 12 months. These figures are facility-specific and should not be combined with Canyon County jail population numbers.
The audit numbers also show why Nampa CRC should be described as a reentry facility rather than a county jail overflow unit. Its population is tied to minimum-custody IDOC community confinement and reentry programming. Canyon County's jail statistics track a separate adult jail population in Caldwell, while Nampa CRC tracks a state corrections population under IDOC.
How to Look Up a Resident at Nampa Community Reentry Center
Use the IDOC Resident/Client Search, not the Canyon County Jail Roster. IDOC says the database covers people under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarcerated, probation, and parole records. It can be searched by last name or IDOC number, and it updates daily while warning that location, status, and other details may change quickly.
- Open IDOC Resident/Client Search.
- Enter at least the first two characters of the last name, or at least the first three digits of an IDOC number.
- Use first name as an optional narrowing field.
- Review the record for current IDOC status, location, and mailing-address availability.
The IDOC Resident/Client Search page shows the Last Name, First Name, IDOC Number, Search, and Reset controls used for Nampa CRC lookups.
If the person is still in Canyon County pretrial jail custody, the county jail roster may apply. After sentencing or transfer to IDOC jurisdiction, the state locator is the authoritative search channel.
Nampa Community Reentry Center Address and Contact
Use IDOC and facility contact channels for resident questions, visiting rules, program approval, and mail guidance. The PREA audit identifies the physical address and a mailing address variation as 1640 11th Avenue East; users should confirm the exact mailing format with IDOC before sending items.

Visiting Someone at Nampa Community Reentry Center
Nampa CRC follows IDOC and facility approval rules, not Canyon County jail video visitation. The research does not provide a public Nampa CRC social visitation schedule. Because CRC residents may have work release, community service, treatment, and reentry programming, visitors should confirm approval, scheduling, identification, dress rules, and resident availability directly with the facility.
| Step | Detail | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Confirm IDOC and facility visitor requirements | State facility |
| Scheduling | Call 208-465-8490 for current procedure | Facility-directed |
| County jail rules | CTel county jail visitation does not govern Nampa CRC | Not applicable |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Nampa Community Reentry Center
Mail, phone, and money rules at Nampa CRC follow IDOC and facility policy. Do not use the Canyon County Jail Kentucky scanning address, CTel/InmateSales account process, or JailATM deposit path for Nampa CRC unless IDOC specifically directs it. If IDOC does not show a mailing address for a resident, IDOC advises checking again because mailing information may appear after the person is received into custody.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Confirm IDOC mailing format and resident address before sending | |
| Phone / Visits | IDOC and facility rules, not county jail CTel rules |
| Money Deposit | Use IDOC-approved resident account instructions from the facility |
Reception and Reentry Placement at Nampa Community Reentry Center
Nampa CRC does not handle street-arrest booking for Canyon County. Residents generally arrive through IDOC placement after sentencing, parole planning, or reentry eligibility. Court sentencing information remains in iCourt, but physical custody, supervision status, and reentry placement are tracked by IDOC. A county jail roster record may disappear or stop reflecting current location once a person has moved into IDOC jurisdiction.
The IDOC search also includes probation and parole records, so a result may show a supervision status rather than a traditional prison bed. If a record does not show a mailing address, IDOC instructs users to keep checking because address information may appear after the person arrives in IDOC custody. That limitation is different from the Canyon County roster, which is built around current adult jail custody and recent arrests.
About Nampa Community Reentry Center
Nampa CRC is part of a state custody cluster in Nampa, near Juvenile Corrections Center - Nampa. Both are state facilities, but they serve different populations. Nampa CRC works with adult male IDOC residents nearing release or parole, while JCC-Nampa is an IDJC juvenile treatment facility. Programs at CRCs emphasize accountability, employment, treatment, life skills, work release, community service, and cognitive-behavioral programming.
The local geography can be confusing because the two Nampa facilities are close to each other and both sit inside Canyon County. Agency control is the better way to separate them. Nampa CRC is IDOC and adult reentry. JCC-Nampa is IDJC and juvenile rehabilitation. Dale Haile, the Annex, and Pod 5 are Canyon County Sheriff's Office adult jail facilities in Caldwell.
Nampa CRC also changes the records vocabulary. A county jail user may look for booking charges, mugshots, and arresting agency rows. A CRC search is more likely to involve IDOC number, supervision status, location, mailing information, and reentry programming. Those fields come from the state resident/client database and IDOC facility records, not the Canyon County current-arrests feed.
Note: Confirm IDOC status, visit approval, and mailing instructions with Nampa CRC before traveling or sending funds.
