Northern Nevada Correctional Center
prison complex in Nevada, United States
Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC), Stewart Conservation Camp (SCC), and the Saddle Horse and Burro Training Program are part of a prison complex located in Carson City. The correctional center was established in 1964 and is managed by the Nevada Department of Corrections. The medium security center housed 1,444 male and 9 female inmates as of September 2010. It is designed with a capacity for 1,619 inmates and employs a staff of 373 as of 2008.
The adjacent Stewart Conservation Camp was opened in 1978 and is designed for 240 minimum security inmates who support the Nevada Division of Forestry with wildfire suppression and conservation efforts. The camp housed 328 male inmates and was budgeted for a total capacity of 350 as of September 2010.
The facility is also the site of the adjoining Saddle Horse and Burro Training Program. The program is a cooperative partnership between the Bureau of Land Management and the Nevada Department of Corrections-Silver State Industries. The NNCC is not only a holding facility with a capacity of up to 2,000 animals but it also has a training program which utilizes inmates to train wild horses to make available to the public for adoption. Typically three public adoption events are held each year.
