Lovelock Correctional Center

Lovelock Correctional Center is a medium security prison in Pershing County, Nevada. The compound spreads across several buildings with housing blocks that hold 168 cells, each about 7.4 square meters (80 square feet) in size and designed for two inmates.

The Nevada Department of Corrections opened the facility in August 1995 as the seventh major prison in the state. At first, the center operated with two main housing blocks, which were later expanded step by step over the following years.

The facility organizes job training in areas like car repair, cooking, computers and gardening to prepare inmates for their return to society. These programs allow participants to gain hands-on skills they can use later in their working lives.

Visitors must arrive 30 minutes before scheduled appointments, call 775-977-5350 for information, and confirm inmate availability before making the trip. It helps to clarify visit rules ahead of time to avoid delays or refusals at the entrance.

In the industrial section, two halls with roughly 1,858 square meters (20,000 square feet) each house operations where inmates manufacture clothing and mattresses under supervision. These workshops allow participants to learn production techniques while experiencing a structured daily work routine.
