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.

This was meant to be a stop on a road trip to Death Valley but I later realized that you could spend a couple of hours in the refuge. The way to get here is all dirt roads and there was at least one river crossing. If it recently rained or is raining, I don't think a regular sedan could make its way out here. The main area is pretty close to the parking lot, less than a 5 minute walk. Because it is protected and could actually be dangerous, the hole is completely fenced off. I brought a pair of binoculars to hopefully see some endangered pupfish but we were too far. It would be a much cooler experience if we could get up to the water's edge but being so far away, it's anticlimactic.

It's almost a real city. Why 4 stars? Well, my family loves it here. I could never live here, but seeing them happy in their retirement years earns this county 4 stars.

This is an update to my original 2 star review because visiting has gone down hill, straight into…read morethe toilet. It's bad enough to visit at a prison where you have to follow a very particular set of rules, but to have staff that is downright disrespectful and takes pleasure in harassing visitors, takes things to a whole new level of shitty. Be forewarned that the visiting officers that are currently working check-in can be aggressive and downright rude. The clothing rules seem to have changed all of a sudden and they are really cracking down on any little clothing issue that they deem unacceptable. I've been humiliated, as have others, by the gatehouse guards over what I have been wearing(which is ridiculous because I dress very conservatively). In my 16 years years of visiting at other facilities around the state, I have never had any issues. Furthermore, there is one guard in particular who has zero public relations skills and literally screams at people when she gets flustered. "Higher management" doesn't seem to give a rat's ass about the abhorrent behavior and behaves in a similar, disrespectful fashion. When you're a public servant, you should not be treating free citizens like dirt. On top of all that, they still cannot seem to figure out an acceptable check-in routine as now they are allowing people who have visited the week before to sign up for the following week in advance, which means that if you don`t make prison visiting your life and do not go every week, more than likely you will be far down on the list come your visiting day. Ridiculous.
