This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at NV DOC – Wells Conservation Camp (WCC) located at HC 67-50 in Wells, NV are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

Wells Conservation Camp is located at exit 365 on interstate 80 in Independence Valley, approximately 14 miles east of Wells, Nevada. Construction of the facility began in the fall of 1984 with the utilization of inmate labor and the official opening of the camp was in March of 1985. WCC houses minimum custody offenders and operates under a cooperative partnership with the Nevada Division of Forestry. NDF operates 7 inmate work crews at WCC providing wild land firefighting support as well as working on a variety of projects locally including, but not limited to, wild land conservation, community projects, senior citizen assistance and highway beautification and cleanup projects with the Nevada Department of Transportation.

WCC is a working camp with the majority of inmates being assigned to Nevada Division of forestry fire crews. Due to our remote location, the availability of program volunteers is limited. Currently WCC offers G.E.D. preparation and testing through Great Basin College of Elko, Nevada. Inmates can receive their High School Diploma, from Elko County School District and New Beginnings is another program that is offered. Efforts to expand on programming are ongoing.
