Located at 3301 E 5th St in Carson City, NV, WSCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WSCC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The WSCC, initially the Nevada Women’s Correctional Center, underwent several transitions since its authorization in 1961. Converted to a men’s medium security prison in 1998 and then to a minimum custody facility in July 2003, it has seen four remodels and expansions over 47 years. These expansions included additional housing units, a core services building, security upgrades, and educational facilities, expanding the capacity from 260 to 510 inmates by July 1998. In July 2008, it reverted to a men’s medium custody institution.
Staffing at WSCC comprises 125 employees, including administrators, correctional officers, supervisors, caseworkers, food service workers, and medical staff. Educational services, including high school equivalency and vocational training, are provided by the Carson City School District, with five teachers facilitating the programs.
WSCC's current capacity is budgeted for 532 inmates. The facility offers various programs to facilitate inmate rehabilitation and reintegration into society. The Re-Entry program collaborates with Pre-Release, Parole, and Probation services to assist inmates with community referrals, vital records acquisition, and therapy sessions such as Getting It Right and Moral Recognition Therapy.
The Getting It Right program consists of five workbooks covering personal growth, responsible thinking, life management, relapse prevention, and change plans, aiming to reduce recidivism. Moral Recognition Therapy, a self-paced cognitive behavioral intervention, helps offenders develop awareness through workbook-based exercises.
Education programs provided by Carson Adult Education and Western Nevada College offer opportunities for high school equivalency, diplomas, and associate degrees. Substance abuse treatment includes the Phoenix program, a six-month sober living initiative led by trained counselors.
Mental health programs at WSCC include Commitment to Change, a six-week course addressing criminal thinking, Anger Management, teaching coping mechanisms for anger, and Victim Impact, focusing on understanding the consequences of crime on communities.
Miscellaneous programs at WSCC cater to specific inmate needs and community engagement. The Veterans Integration Program allocates housing for former armed forces members, providing support and discussions on PTSD. The Healing Hounds Project, in collaboration with the Pet Network, trains dogs as service animals for disabled veterans. Puppies up for Parole, partnered with the Nevada Humane Society, trains at-risk dogs for adoption, while the INK program cares for older cats difficult to adopt. These initiatives contribute to inmate rehabilitation and community welfare.
WSCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
