I called that same day to confirm they sent him off with his money and they had said yes. Once my brother told me I called and spoke with the "business manager" and she kept making lies and excuses as to what happened with the money. These people are PIECES OF SH**S!!!! Taking money from people who are already losing everything and are in terrible situations is so cold and evil. Shame on you guys !!!!

He could hear me, but I could not hear him. They tried to put him on the other station but no one could figure out how to get the monitor working. So I was unable to have my visit. After I drove out there 1.5 hours. For a Private for-profit facility, you'd think they'd keep their equipment functional. I wanted to call the ACLU. He has the right to have visitors. I have the right to see him. I left the place in tears. Very frustrating.

A Heartfelt Thank You…read more Lieutenant Q is truly amazing--thank you for such a meaningful tour. I felt so many emotions throughout the visit: empathy, care, and a strong sense of family come to mind. I'm grateful for the time you took to guide us through, and for the opportunity to meet incredible people--both those who work there and those incarcerated who are working hard on themselves. Their stories are powerful and inspiring. Your commitment to serving justice with dignity, compassion, and care is remarkable. Thank you to you and the entire CCDC team for your service and the humanity you bring to it every day.

I drove two hours and spent $50 in gas to see him and then was told for an hour that he was coming after an hour I asked to speak with someone else, who said that he wasn't coming because someone else was stabbed so just because I started crying because my son was very sad, they escorted me out. I then email a visit request a month later saying my visits are suspended for six months because they refused to bring him to his visit and I started crying. I didn't make a scene or anything. I was just very sad for my five-year-old son who wanted to see his dad. How do you treat a single mother with a five year-old son who just wants to see his father that way? These people are heartless. They treat common visitors like inmates! My son's father only got a DUI and got 2 1/2 years, he says there's rats in the ceiling, I'm so glad he's going to the three lakes camp. I don't wanna deal with anybody that works here any more. I will be writing the word in a letter.

A 3 star rating for a prison? Seems like an oxymoron. This review is for my visit to the SDCC on…read moreFriday to see a friend who is incarcerated there. There are two prisons along US 95 as you near Indian Springs, Nevada. On the south side of Cold Creek Road is the Southern Desert Correctional Center which is a medium security facility. A little farther west on Cold Creek Road and on the north side is the High Desert Prison, a maximum security facility. Their location is perfect for the prisons--not too far for the workers to get there--about 60 miles NW of Las Vegas but surrounded by desert. Nothing but sand, stones, and desert plants for miles and miles and more miles. To see a prisoner, you have to get a form from the prison and return it filled out properly. I got my approval a couple of weeks after sending it in. Visiting days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in two shifts--morning and afternoon. When you get there, you're buzzed into a small room where an officer gives you a paper to fill out noting the inmate you're visiting and your name and address. It's also a consent form to be body searched. If you don't agree to the search, you can't visit. Then you go back outside and wait. I got there a little after 11 AM for the Noon entry time. The officer told me it would be about 12:15 when they started. I also received a laminated card with a number--4 in my case--and that's the order you're called to enter the facility when it's time. At 12:15 give or take, the numbers 1-5 were told to enter. That gets you back into the air conditioned foyer. Each numbered party goes one at a time to the same officer as before. You now sign in on another form and surrender your car keys to the officer. The only thing you're allowed to have when you enter the secure part of the facility is your driver's license or other legal ID. No gum, candy, cell phones, etc., etc., etc. You can bring a plastic bag of quarters for the machines in the visiting room. You then go through a metal detector. When you pass this test, you get a metal ring with a number--the box your keys are in--and your visiting papers. You are then buzzed through another secure door to a wide, enclosed walkway that leads to another locked door through which you have to be buzzed to enter the screening area . You're called in order again and you go into a separate room where you remove your shoes and the officer does the body pat down search. Shoes back on and there's another locked door to be buzzed through and then a final one. That's five locked doors to gain access to the hallway that leads to the visiting room. You give information to the officer at a high stand in the visiting room and he enters the inmates name and number and then you're given the number of the table at which you meet your friend when they come to this visiting room, a room that holds 150 people. I had about a two hour visit with my friend and I was pleased my visit was a surprise and helped to break up his day. All of the staff I dealt with knew quickly that I was new to the routine and I was aided along the way. Several smiled and were friendly. I only got an attitude from one. Maybe he's tired of people like me but he was displaying his authority with gusto. One final note on the rules. You must NOT wear blue or any variation of blue as the inmates wear blue jeans and blue shirts. I wore tan cargo pants and a red shirt. Now that I know the drill, I'll be back to visit again in a month or so. It is an interesting experience. An OK place to visit, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

All the COs I have dealt with here have lost their Humanity . They do not treat people with dignity here . They play mind games with people because they think it's funny when someone is told that they will be released and put in a Cell by themselves for 3 hours in the hopes that they would be released . Only for them to wait on paperwork or for that individual to break , because their family had asked that they were administered their medication correctly, per a judge's order. My suggestion is if you, or a loved one find yourself here , remember everyone's name that you encounter . And be ready to file a complaint against them . Roaches hate the light .

I was able to secure an absolutely amazing job and have plenty of money to go home with. If you do not give the officers a problem, they won't give you any either. For the most part, the officers are willing to help you. But I have to give a shout out to three of the coolest officers there Officers Mark, Loisi and Perry. I seriously wouldn't mind running into them again. They were faces that I actually looked forward to seeing when I got off work. They brought me light in a dark place. So I am truly grateful for the officers there who actually treated me like a human being and didn't treat me like a throw away. The program is extremely beneficial to people like myself who just happened to make a tragic mistake. So on that note, I say thank you for everything and truly making a difference in my life.
