Lovelock Correctional Center
Lovelock Correctional Center is a mixed-custody state prison for male inmates that is located in Lovelock, Nevada. Lovelock houses medium-custody general population inmates and close-custody protective segregation inmates, along with a separate unit housing a small number of minimum-custody inmates. The total capacity for Lovelock is approximately 1,680 inmates.
This facility was constructed in two phases, with the first starting in August 1995. They built two housing units with 168 cells that are 80 square feet and can house two inmates. During the second phase, two more 168-cell housing units were built, plus two 84-cell units.
Lovelock Correctional Center was the center of worldwide media coverage in 2008 when former football star OJ Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison for kidnapping and armed robbery, with a minimum requirement of nine years. OJ Simpson was paroled from the facility on October 1, 2017. This sentence was not connected to the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, for which Simpson was acquitted.
