NDCS groundbreaking ceremony

Today, Governor Jim Pillen, Director Rob Jeffreys and other NDCS and state leaders gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony of a new multi-custody facility, located north of Interstate 80 and east of 70th street in northeast Lincoln. 

“Today is an important day for our agency, the state of Nebraska and the future of corrections,” said NDCS Director Rob Jeffreys. “The innovative, energy-efficient and sustainable design elements of this facility will create an environment for safe and transformation rehabilitation, as well as reduce long range operational costs and provide staffing efficiencies.”   

Utilizing the latest trends in correctional architecture, the new multi-custody facility design will incorporate natural light and acoustics that facilitate proper sound levels throughout the facility. These normative spaces will support the rehabilitative mission of the facility and the mental and physical wellbeing of the population and staff.
