A prison near Carson City is in lockdown today after a male inmate was found dead in an apparent homicide.
The inmate at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center was found Saturday morning by prison staffers, who tried to revive him, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.
The inspector general's office is investigating the incident as a homicide, and the prison has been put on lockdown, NDOC spokesman Brian Connett said. No other details were released.
No visitations will be allowed while the lockdown remains in place, Cannett said.
