      Historical

      The Stewart Conservation Camp (SCC) is located adjacent to the Northern Nevada Correctional Center. It originally opened in 1978. In 1995, a new SCC was constructed to replace and more than double the size of the original camp. SCC houses minimum custody and community trustee offenders in five dormitory type units.

        Staffing

        There are 15 Nevada Department of Corrections staff members assigned to SCC. In addition, there are 22 Nevada Division of Foresty staff members stationed at SCC.

          Capacity

          SCC has a capacity of 360 offenders.

            Programs: Vocational Training, Educational Opportunities, and Treatment Services

            Offenders at SCC work for the Nevada Division of Forestry and are assigned to twelve-man fire crews. Offenders also work for Silver State Industries, which runs the ranch and the Wild Horse Training Program. Some of the offenders are classified as community trustees who provide support services for several state agencies in Carson City, Nevada. Offenders at SCC can prepare for the General Education Development (GED) test and may attend college courses provided by Western Nevada College (WNC). In addition, several self-help and treatment programs are conducted by medical and mental health staff in the evenings.

              Prison Industries

              Under the supervision of Silver State Industries, the ranch grows alfalfa, raises cattle and cares for horses in coordination with the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management. The Wild Horse Program involves offenders training horses for adoption by the public.
