"Entering its fourth year, it is the only privately run prison in Nevada and ..."〕 It relieved prisons in Carson City and near Indian Springs. The prison also relieved the Clark County Detention Center. A previous women's facility in Carson City, Warm Springs Correctional Center, was converted to a men's prison after rehabilitation and expansion. The Southern Nevada Women's facility was built with space to house around 500 inmates. The dedication was scheduled to be held on Saturday September 13, 1997, with inmates being moved in the following week.〔
In 2003 correctional officer Randy Easter and inmate Korinda Martin engaged in sexual intercourse. A judge sentenced the two to probation.〔Puit, Glenn. "(Judge doubts inmate story )." ''Las Vegas Review-Journal''. Wednesday April 20, 2005. Retrieved on September 29, 2010.〕 On February 23, 2004, the Corrections Corporation of America said that they would not renew their contract to operate the facility, which expired on October 1, 2004. Officials stated that the company lost over $1 million per year while operating the facility. NDOC solicited bids for another private company to operate the prison; the bids were due on May 4, 2004. State Senator Bob Coffin objected to the idea of another private company receiving a contract to operate the prison.〔Vogel, Ed.
