Setting the record straight on Eagle Pass Correctional Facility

By Waymon Barry, Eagle Pass Correctional Facility Warden. Published in Idaho Press on Dec. 26, 2018. The Idaho Press recently ran several stories, including an editorial, about Idaho inmates incarcerated in Eagle Pass, Texas. The distance between our facility and home for the inmates has allowed the Press to report falsehoods as fact and exaggerations as reality. Idaho families have it hard enough with loved ones incarcerated so far from home, and misleading press coverage is especially harmful to them.
