HISTORY
Stewart Conservation Camp (SCC) is located adjacent to the Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC) in Carson City, Nevada. SCC was originally designated as the Carson Conservation Camp in 1978. The camp began with a small staff and three mobile home structures housing inmate crews for the Nevada Division of Forestry. Prior to that time, crews had been housed at a small camp at Spooner Summit. Following closure of the Spooner Summit Camp, inmate crews were housed in specific dormitories within NNCC and were released to their Crew Supervisors daily.
In 1995, a new Stewart Conservation Camp was constructed to replace and more than double the size of the original camp. The new camp buildings consist of five dormitory-style housing units as well as a multi-purpose room/gymnasium, a canteen, a laundry facility, an area of operations, and a culinary.
SCC houses minimum custody inmates in an open dormitory environment. The majority of the inmates housed at SCC are employed in support of the Nevada Division of Forestry’s fire suppression and conservation efforts. Other inmates are assigned to employment activities within the camp, and at the adjacent Prison Industries operated ranch and dairy. Inmates have been recognized for their contributions to the community during the historic floods of 1997 and, on numerous occasions, for their wild land fire fighting efforts.

The Nevada Department of Corrections is striving to create a new, more open environment for the public, while also providing more effective services. In an effort to accomplish these goals, NDOC has created a Family Services Division designed to address concerns of inmates and their families.
The Division is supervised by Glen Whorton, Director of the Nevada Department of Corrections and serves as the primary location for all inmate-related correspondence and phone inquiries from families. The Divison is currently coordinated by Ronda Larsen, Administrative Assistant III, who works cooperatively with all divisions of the Department to insure that issues are investigated and properly addressed. Ms. Larsen has many years experience in prison administration, and works to ensure that those contacting the Division are provided with accurate, up-to-date information.
The Division staff works closely with Wardens, Associate Wardens, and other NDOC employees throughout the Department. They are trained to answer questions pertaining to virtually all aspects of the incarceration process. They forward ideas and suggestions for improvement to the Director for consideration. All correspondence received by the Division is perused and responded to by Director Glen Whorton or his designated representative.
We hope the operation of the Family Services Division will result in more effective services being provided. You can reach the Family Services Division Staff as follows:
Inmate Services is comprised of five separate functions for the benefit of all inmates. The major functions, responsibilities and tasks are:
Posting of all incoming monies (i.e.; payrolls, deposits, Christmas gift coupons) (Click here to print a Deposit Coupon)
There are now three standard methods to send money to inmates, a Lockbox Deposit Coupon (cashier's check or money order), via Western Union QuickPay (credit card), or via Jpay (credit card or cash). In addition, during the holiday season inmates can receive one special coupon deposit of up to $100, service-free. Click on a link below for more information about each method:
