Walkaway from re-entry center captured in Mountain Home

A fugitive from the Idaho Department of Correction has been found and is back in custody.

Kori Kathleen Freeland, 31, was serving time at the East Boise Community Reentry Center, which allows residents to participate in treatment, do community service and work at jobs outside the facility.

She did not return from her job in the community Tuesday night.

With the help of the Elmore County Sheriff's Office, investigators located her in Mountain Home and she was taken into custody without incident at 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

Freeland was serving time for forgery and drug possession convictions in Ada and Gem counties. IDOC says she was eligible to be considered for parole in early December, and her full sentence is scheduled to be completed in December 2023.
