clothing and bedding shall be climatically suitable, comfortable, and meet sanitary and
safety requirements pursuant to written standard operating procedures (SOPs).
It is also the policy of the Board that offenders housed within those facilities are allowed to
maintain personal property and that the IDOC develops SOPs to ensure the offender’s

SCOPE
This policy applies to all procedures created under the authority of this policy and to all
offenders under the jurisdiction of the IDOC.
RESPONSIBILITY
The director of the IDOC and chief of the Operations Division are responsible for overseeing
the implementation of this policy and the development and implementation of SOPs to
provide guidance to facility heads .
At a minimum, the SOPs must provide guidance on the following:

State of Idaho-issued property to include legal materials and commissary items;
• Property limits based on housing assignment and custody level;
