East Boise Community Reentry Center

The East Boise Community Reentry Center (EBCRC) plays a critical role in helping individuals transition from incarceration to reintegration into society. Established in July 1980, it was Idaho’s first reentry center. Originally accommodating all genders, the facility underwent a significant transformation in September 1989 to become an all-female center, tailoring its services to meet the unique needs of women reentering their communities.

Today, EBCRC houses up to 148 female residents classified as minimum custody. It provides an environment that bridges the gap between incarceration and freedom, emphasizing personal development and community involvement.

The center offers various programs designed to promote successful transitions, including treatment services, support groups, and opportunities for community service. Residents also participate in community-based employment, gaining valuable work experience to prepare for their independent futures.

The center is more than just a place to serve the remainder of one’s sentence. It offers educational opportunities, volunteer activities, and life skills programs, giving residents the tools they need to succeed upon release. Through partnerships with local organizations, EBCRC residents contribute to the community, building a foundation of trust and reciprocity.
