The Nevada Department of Corrections says it plans to shut down two minimum custody conservation camps, pointing to a shift in how people are being supervised.

Carlin Conservation Camp in Carlin and Jean Conservation Camp in Jean are both scheduled to close by July 1.

“As a greater number of offenders qualify for house arrest and other transitional programs, the NDOC determined the cost of keeping these locations open was no longer beneficial,” said Director James Dzurenda.

Officials say everyone currently housed at the camps will be moved to other correctional facilities before June 30. Staff will remain at the sites until all equipment, computers, furniture, and supplies are removed.

Workers at both locations will be given options to transfer within the department or apply for other state positions.

The department says the Carlin property will be returned to the city. The closure in Jean is not expected to affect the surrounding unincorporated town.
