Special Olympics Idaho Partners With Department Of Corrections To Build New Facility

Special Olympics Idaho recently broke ground on a new 'Training For Life' facility that would provide state-of-the-art amenities for the Gem State's most special athletes.

We look at both sides of this story with Laurie La Follette of Special Olympics Idaho and Rachael Masaitis of IDOC's Nampa CRC.
