The Tonopah Conservation Camp (TCC) is located approximately 12 miles northeast of Tonopah. In February 1991, TCC opened as a minimum custody camp with a capacity to house 72 male inmates, which later expanded to 152 inmates. Inmates can obtain credit by attending General Education Diploma or high school classes. Medical services are provided monthly at High Desert State Prison. The inmate crews support the Nevada Division of Forestry program by working on conservation, fire suppression activities with 12 man crews, and public service projects within the immediate geographical area.
