The Three Lakes Valley Conservation Camp (TLVCC) is a minimum custody facility, adjacent to the Southern Desert Correctional Center (SDCC) at Indian Springs. This institution initially opened in 1982 as Indian Springs Conservation Camp with the opening of SDCC. At that time, the facility housed a male inmate population in an open bay facility. The institution opened with a 108 bed capacity, but was expanded to 150 beds in 1990. In 1994, the camp layout was restructured for better security and the capacity was increased to 248 inmates. In 2008, the facility was renamed Three Lakes Valley Conservation Camp, and in 2010 TLVCC was expanded further to incorporate a new facility that increased its total capacity to 384 inmates. The inmates at TLVCC support the Nevada Division of Forestry program for conservation and fire suppression with 12-man crews. Statutory Authority: NRS 209
