Detention director raises cap proposal after January intake spike
Summary
Juvenile Detention Director Trent Bodily reported January totals (Cassia 9 intakes/45 inmate days; Minidoka 11 intakes/71 inmate days; combined 116 inmate days) and suggested limiting total detention population to eight to meet required staff-to-resident ratios.
Trent Bodily, Juvenile Detention Director, told the committee that January brought elevated intake and inmate‑day totals and that the facility has seen a high of 11 residents since the last meeting. He provided county breakdowns for January: Cassia recorded nine resident intakes accounting for 45 inmate days; Minidoka recorded 11 intakes accounting for 71 inmate days, for a combined total of 116 inmate days. Bodily said the facility’s low was two residents and the average was five.
To remain within required staff-to-resident ratios, Bodily raised discussion of implementing a maximum total inmate population of eight. The committee discussed the proposal but took no formal vote; the item remains under discussion for possible operational changes to admissions or transfers.
