NV DOC – Northern Nevada Restitution Center (NNRC) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 775-688-1140
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at NV DOC – Northern Nevada Restitution Center (NNRC) located at 2595 East Second St in Reno, 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.
In 1979, the State Legislature passed a law authorizing the establishment of a Restitution Center Program for non-violent, non-sex offender inmates who are within one year of term expiration or parole eligibility. Through this program, these inmates are given the opportunity to establish employment in the community to better prepare them for release and to address court-ordered fees, fines, and restitution obligations. In October 1979, the Northern Nevada Restitution Center opened in Reno with four residents. In April 1980, the Southern Nevada Restitution Center opened in North Las Vegas, operating at its maximum capacity of 40 residents. In August 1987, the Northern Nevada Restitution Center had a maximum capacity of 48 male and 12 female residents. In April 1993, NNRC was moved to its present location and can house up to 103 inmates, male only.
Vocational Training includes all training authorized by the department that is available in the community. Educational opportunities include the pursuit of a GED, high school diploma, college certificates of achievement, and associate, baccalaureate and master's degrees.
