Samuel moved to juvenile facility

Eldon Gale Samuel III, the Coeur d’Alene teen convicted of murdering his father and brother, was moved Wednesday to an Idaho juvenile prison to begin serving his sentence of at least 20 years. Samuel, 16, was transferred from a state maximum security prison in Kuna, Idaho, where he was being held in seclusion temporarily, to one of the state’s three juvenile corrections facilities. Prison officials aren’t disclosing which one. The three juvenile prisons are in St. Anthony, Nampa and Lewiston. “We are confident this is an appropriate placement and best for him,” said Ashley Dowell, the deputy chief of prisons for the Idaho Department of Corrections. Samuel will remain in the juvenile facility until he turns 18. He will be able to resume his high school education while there, Dowell said/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
