History

Lovelock is in Pershing County and is the seventh major institution of the Nevada Department of Corrections.[1] It was constructed and opened in two phases. The first started in August 1995 with two 168 cell housing units. Each 80-square-foot (7.4 m2) cell can house two inmates. Construction on the second phase saw two 168 cell units and two 84 cell units made available for the institution to hold 1,680 offenders.[1] Its industrial plant, housed in two 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) buildings, makes garments and mattresses.[1]

The facility received wide media coverage in 2008 when former American football star O.J. Simpson was sent there after being sentenced to 33 years imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years before becoming eligible for parole, which was granted on July 20, 2017.[2][3] He was released on October 1, 2017.[4]

gollark: > what's the pages table for thenReferencing by future tags tables, and showing metadata like last-update-time in big page lists.
gollark: I am leaning toward the idea of still having a pages table, but putting all the actual content into revisions.
gollark: It would also introduce special casing for some things, which is æ.
gollark: I would then have to add a fake revision entry to the top with the latest version of the page, so how does *it* get an edit distance entry?
gollark: That would be stored with revision metadata, since otherwise it would have to fetch and edit-distance-ize all the content to display this.
