Find Carlin Conservation Camp Inmates

Carlin Camp Overview

Carlin Conservation Camp is operated by the Nevada Department of Corrections. NDOC describes it as a minimum-custody conservation camp in Carlin, located in Elko County. The camp was constructed in 1987 and houses sentenced Nevada offenders who meet minimum-custody placement rules. These are not local pretrial detainees waiting for a first court appearance in Elko County Detention Center.

The facility's role is tied to work crews and conservation service. NDOC says Carlin offenders work with the Nevada Division of Forestry on fire crews during fire season, then shift to community cleanup and snow removal during the off season. The camp also offers GED and high-school diploma opportunities. That program mix makes the facility different from a standard reception prison, a county jail, or the Nevada Youth Training Center juvenile facility.

The NDOC Carlin Conservation Camp page is the source for the facility address, staff names, capacity, history, and program description.

Because NDOC controls the page, Carlin custody questions should be checked through NDOC channels before calling Elko County jail staff.

Carlin Camp Population

NDOC lists Carlin Conservation Camp with capacity for 150 minimum-custody offenders. That number is a facility capacity figure, not a guarantee that 150 people are present on any given day. The camp population can change with transfers, work-crew eligibility, classification decisions, medical status, disciplinary status, and release dates. The research did not locate a live daily count for the camp.

The capacity figure should not be mixed with the Elko County jail's March 2025 count or the Nevada Youth Training Center's youth capacity. Each facility has a different operator and population. Carlin is adult state custody, Elko County Detention Center is local adult jail custody, and NYTC is a state juvenile facility with stricter confidentiality.

Carlin Inmate Lookup

Use the NDOC offender search to look up an inmate at Carlin Conservation Camp. NDOC's offender-info page explains that the agency generally has custody of offenders sentenced to a Nevada State Prison and currently serving that sentence. It does not maintain current information for people who have only been arrested, are waiting for trial, or are held in the Elko County jail. If the person was just booked after an Elko County arrest, start with sheriff custody channels instead.

1. Open the NDOC offender search, then choose offender ID if the number is known or demographics if it is not.
2. Enter the first and last name, using the supported wildcard if the spelling is uncertain.
3. Review the result for location, status, and identifying information before assuming the person is at Carlin.
4. Call NDOC Family Services or the facility when the locator result is unclear or when a visit depends on current placement.

NDOC warns that its locator data is raw information and is not warranted as error-free. It should not be treated as an official law-enforcement record. For county jail bookings and local custody records, use Elko County inmate records channels instead of the NDOC prison locator.

Carlin Camp Contact

Carlin Conservation Camp is listed with a Suzie Creek Road location and a Carlin post office box. The NDOC facility page also lists administrative staff. The research identified Warden Nethanjah Breitenbach, Associate Wardens Kara LeGrand and Daniel Collier, and Camp Manager Lt. Kenneth Harroun. Routine family questions should still go through official facility and NDOC channels instead of staff-by-staff outreach unless NDOC directs the contact.

Carlin Camp Visits

Carlin is a state facility, so visits follow NDOC rules rather than Elko County jail video-visitation rules. The NDOC Carlin page has a Visit CCC link, and the NDOC offender-info page points families to statewide visiting information. State prison visits generally require approval, scheduling, valid identification, and compliance with facility rules. A person assigned to a work crew can also have movement, job, or security limits that affect visit timing.

Visitors should not use the Elko County Detention Center ICSolutions page for Carlin. That video system is tied to the sheriff jail, while Carlin uses state prison visiting procedures. The facility assignment in the NDOC locator should be checked shortly before any planned visit.

Carlin Mail Money

Mail, banking, phone, tablet, and incoming-message rules for Carlin Conservation Camp follow NDOC offender-info policies. The research file located NDOC links for visiting information, offender banking services, offender phone and tablet information, offender incoming messages, and mailing items to offenders. It did not provide a Carlin-specific fee table that can be repeated as a local price schedule.

Use the Carlin address for facility mail only after checking the current NDOC mail rules. Prison mail can be rejected for format errors, unauthorized contents, or policy violations. The county jail cannot fix an NDOC mail or money problem for a Carlin offender.

Carlin Classification Intake

Carlin Conservation Camp does not book fresh street arrests in the way a county jail does. A person usually reaches Carlin after conviction, sentencing, state prison intake, and NDOC classification. Classification is the state process that decides custody level, housing, work eligibility, programming, and supervision needs. Minimum custody means the offender has been approved for a lower-security setting than a higher-security prison, but the person is still in state custody.

Transfers can confuse families because a defendant may start in Elko County Detention Center, appear in court, receive a sentence, and later appear in the NDOC locator at a facility such as Carlin. Once that transfer occurs, the Elko sheriff roster and jail phone are no longer the main lookup tools. Search the Elko County inmate population by custody level and operator, then use the matching agency system.

Carlin Camp Programs

Carlin's program identity is tied to conservation and community service. NDOC says the offender population assists the Nevada Division of Forestry on fire crews during fire season. In other parts of the year, crews provide community cleanup and snow removal. The camp also supports educational goals through GED and high-school diploma opportunities. Those details make Carlin one of the more distinct facilities in Elko County's custody landscape.

Staffing described in the research includes one correctional lieutenant, one correctional sergeant, one senior correctional officer, one correctional caseworker, eight correctional officers, and one storekeeper. That detail supports the camp's smaller scale compared with a large prison. It also reinforces why the facility should be described as a minimum-custody NDOC camp, not as an Elko County jail annex.
