Carlin Conservation Camp

The Nevada Department of Corrections maintains a searchable public database of all of the inmates they have in custody.

In addition, the offender search contains information about prisoners, parolees, and probationers who are currently under supervision, and who have been discharged. It also contains sex offenders, violent offenders, and those inmates who have absconded, or escaped.

The actual prison that an inmate is assigned to depends on factors such as security classification, remaining time of their sentence, gang affiliation, and location of their residence.

The Nevada State Prison System began in 1862, when the first state prison in Nevada opened in Carson City.

Today the state of Nevada Prison System maintains 11 state correctional facilities.

With a staff of 2,400 correctional workers, as of the end of 2023 they oversee approximately 10,000 inmates, with another 20,000 on parole or supervised release.

The following will explain the instructions, tricks and hacks you can use to find any inmate in custody with the Nevada Department of Corrections.

Carlin Conservation Camp Inmate Visitation Information & Schedules

Step 1 - Applying to Visit

Anyone wishing to visit an inmate must first complete and mail in an Inmate Visiting Application, but it must come from the prison.  

It works like this:

An inmate requesting to receive a visit must first submit an Inmate’s Application for Visiting Privileges. This is required for each individual the inmate is requesting to include on their respective authorized visitor list, with a maximum number of five. The exception to the maximum of five is if there are copies of certified birth certificates demonstrating that the inmate has more than five (5) biological children.

The visiting room officer will then complete the top portion of the Inmate Visiting Application form, initial, date, and mail the form to the prospective visitor(s). \

The Inmate’s Application for Visiting Privileges will be filed by the visiting room officer, awaiting return of the Inmate Visiting Application.

After completing it, you must mail it directly to the facility you wish to visit.  The mailing addresses for each of the facilities are linked to on this page.

After the visitor is approved or disapproved, the inmate will be sent a response stating the visitor(s) name and disposition of the request.

A letter of approval will also be sent to the prospective visitor’s address, along with a copy of the Nevada DOC Visiting Rules and Regulations. In addition, the prospective visitor will be referred to the NDOC website for information regarding the visiting schedule of the approved institution.

Step 2 - The Visit

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE RULES, REGULATIONS AND DRESS CODES prior to the visit. They can be found on pages 4-22 of this document.

Contact the Visitation Room Officer at 775-754-6307 at least 24 hours in advance to confirm the visit.

Visitors must present proof of identification, i.e., State or federally issued I.D., Driver’s License, Passport, or Consular I.D. and other vital information needed upon request of institution officials before being permitted to receive a visit. 

Identification of minors less than 16 years of age may be established with a certified copy of their birth certificate, which will be kept in the Visiting File.

No person who has been convicted of a felony in any state will be allowed to visit unless prior written approval is received from the Deputy Director.

Carlin Conservation Camp uses Corrlinks to send inmates email and text messages

Corrlinks is a third party service that contracts with the Carlin Conservation Camp and other prisons throughout the country to allow inmates and their friends and family to communicate using digital secure messaging that is monitored by the institution prior to being delivered.

Here is a pdf with a full explanation of Corrlinks rates and services at the Carlin Conservation Camp

Corrlinks also has a video visitation service and allows inmates to receive funds that are sent to them from the outside.

In order to exchange messages from an inmate, you must first receive an invitation from the inmate, which they can do from within Carlin Conservation Camp.  There is usually a fee involved in this service, but not so for messages from/to inmates residing at facilities operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons or CoreCivic (CCA).

The cost for Corrlinks in the Nevada Department of Corrections is $0.30 per message.

Step 1 - Register

Register with your name, address, email and phone number.  A verification email will be sent to you.

Step 2 - Send Message

At this point you must have an invitation from an inmate, or a verifcation code will be sent to you email beforehand that allows you to send your first message to an inmate.

The screen will look like this:

If you need assistance Corrlinks has a comprehensive FAQ Page and a Customer Support page. 

Everything is done online, there is no phone to call.

Once an inmate is convicted and sentenced for a violation of that state’s felony laws (and their sentence is more than one year in length), they are moved from the City or County Jail and sent to a State Prison in Nevada. If the violation they are convicted of is a federal crime, they will be sent to a Federal Prison, but will not necessarily be doing their time in Nevada.

Nevada State Prisons are operated and maintained by the state government and are used to confine and rehabilitate criminals. State prisons are funded by state tax money. The fund is used to provide food and clothes to inmates and to hire employees to keep the prison running. Inmates in state prison enjoy certain privileges such as TV use and recreation, both indoor and outdoor. The number of privileges allowed depends on the security level of the prison, the inmate and the overall needs of the prison on a specific day.

Nevada has minimum, medium and maximum security prisons. The Corrections Department in Nevada also maintains low (or no) security residential settings and camps where inmates assist in state property maintenance and duties such as fighting fires. Almost all prisons provide ‘jobs’ where an inmate can earn a small hourly wage and even learn a trade. Some prisons even contract with call centers and handle phone calls on issues related to their state government. Criminals who have committed a violent crime or killed someone are likely housed in a maximum security prison. If the inmate in these prisons behave, they are also eligible to recreate and/or work as well.

In Nevada Prisons rehabilitation is the stated goal but the reality is that they exist to punish inmates for their crimes and keep them from hurting or harming innocent people on the outside who follow the laws and live and act responsibly. The fact is that most prison systems are underfunded, overcrowded and are not able to spend time and money rehabilitating offenders. This is not the fault of the people hired to work in prisons, they are just victims of the lack of resources due to budgeting constraints.

State Inmate

Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state.

If you need to find a sentenced inmate serving time in a state other than Nevada, go here. To find an inmate in Nevada, just scroll to the top of the page and click on the Inmate Search button.

Once you locate them click next to the inmate's name or on the link provided and it will show you which prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.

Federal Inmate

The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.

Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.

ICE Inmates

The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.

Has the Inmate been recently arrested?... Try a County Jail

In many cases, the person you are looking for has either not been convicted or sentenced or has been sentenced and is awaiting transport to a State or Federal Prison and is still incarcerated in a City or County Jail.

To locate that person, go here to first find the State, and then the County where they were originally arrested or have been transported to. From there you can begin your search in our databases that contain the names and information of millions of inmates.

Jailexchange.com has all information on every jail and prison in the United States.
