North Idaho Correctional Institution is working diligently
in strengthening their security by applying more razor wire on the perimeter
fence. Current plans are to have wire just below the top on both
sides of the fence and coil on top, forming a triangle shape. Razor
wire will also be placed at the base of the fence in some areas.
This improvement should be a large deterrent in offenders attempting escape.
However, should they try they will most likely be severely injured.
The wire is being obtained from the Boise prison complex's surplus. Photos
