The Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility (NCYF) hosted a program called Inner Circle/Winner Circle on Oct. 2.
Three individuals who were previously incarcerated at NCYF came in to speak with the current NCYF population. Two are currently in Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) community corrections centers and one is on parole.
The goal of the Inner Circle/Winner Circle program is to allow individuals to share their journey through the NDCS system with the NCYF population. Additionally, participants talk about what they wish they would have done to better prepare themselves for community corrections centers and what they're currently doing to prepare themselves for release.
