Nevada State Prison
The Nevada State Prison, located in Carson City, Nevada, is one of the oldest prisons still in operation in the United States. Established in 1862 when the Nevada Legislature purchased the Warm Springs Hotel and 20 acres of land for $80,000, NSP has been in continuous operation since this time. Abraham Curry, who owned the hotel, was appointed as the first warden.
The original structure burned down in 1867. Rock was quarried at this location to build a new facility as will as several other state buildings including the State Capitol Building. On several occasions, NSP has been remodeled and expanded. Recently the culinary was completely remodeled and expanded and underground utilities replaced.
The Nevada State Prison operated as a maximum security prison until the Ely State Prison opened in 1989. Although inmates under the sentence of death are incarcerated at the Ely State Prison executions are still conducted at the Nevada State Prison.
Many religious programs of multiple faiths are available for inmates to participate. In addition, a recent remodeling has allowed NSP to establish a chapel for religious services.
A wide range of psychology programs are also available to inmates including parenting, anger management and individual counseling.
Inmates are employed in the usual institutional work assignments, food service, janitorial, maintenance, yard labor crews, laundry, gymnasium, school, law library, and infirmary. Over 60 inmates are employed in the Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety’s License Plate Factory and in the Prison Industries Bookbindery and Print Shop and the Mattress and Soap Factory programs.
There is an extensive inmate recreational program including organized sport leagues, football, basketball, and soccer. Any general population inmate may participate in these activities.
The Carson City School District provides the high school education programming for inmates. The district assigns five teachers to the institution for this purpose.
