NEVADA - Director of Corrections Howard Skolnik said Wednesday he gave the commission studying the administration of justice in Nevada bad information Monday when he said one unit at Nevada State Prison requires 15 [officers] to fully control 97 inmates. He said the actual staffing in that unit is basically five [officers]. After Skolnik’s statement was printed Tuesday, numerous prison employees called to complain saying the data was incorrect. Skolnik said he agrees but that it doesn’t change the dollar numbers presented to the commission headed by Supreme Court Justice James Hardesty. He said it costs $19,275 per inmate a year at NSP because of the century old design of the prison. That compares to just $13,400 per inmate at the much newer inmate units at High Desert Correctional Center in southern Nevada. Read more.
