SOUTH BOISE, Idaho — A former correctional officer has filed a federal lawsuit against the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC), alleging he was wrongfully terminated for blowing the whistle on what he describes as systemic misconduct inside state prison walls.
Scotty Amos, who worked at the Idaho State Correctional Center (ISCC) south of Boise from 2023 to 2024, claims he was fired after internal complaints were ignored and he turned to the media, including Idaho News 6. Our Riley Shoemaker is named in the lawsuit, as we previously reported on Amos’ concerns about the mishandling of inmate mail and medical request forms.
