How is Idaho's prison system surviving in these tough budget times?
Legislative auditors warn the state's prisons are dangerously understaffed. The agency has a 24% turnover rate in the ranks of its correctional officers. And yet, the rate at which Idaho offenders return to prison after release is among the lowest in the nation and the prison population has gone down. This week on Dialogue, host Joan Cartan-Hansen reviews the status of this vital state agency.
