Sheriffs reimbursed for recapture costs

Beginning July 1, 2026, Idaho county sheriffs can get paid back for out-of-state trips to bring back a prisoner, probationer, or parolee who ran from Idaho supervision. After the person is returned and booked into the county jail, the sheriff sends an itemized invoice to the Idaho Department of Correction. The invoice can include mileage, travel, staff time, overtime to cover shifts, and other reasonable costs. The Department of Correction sets aside money each year for this and must pay within 30 days of receiving the invoice.
