The Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) is taking a significant step towards enhancing holistic well-being for the incarcerated population. Last week, dedicated NSP team members gathered to discuss the implementation of the 5-Key Model for Reentry and Well-Being.

By aligning the 5-Key Model with the operational realities of NSP, the team is poised to achieve remarkable results. The enthusiastic response from NSP team members underscores the Model's potential to transform correctional practices in NDCS.

The 5-Key Model provides a variety of rehabilitative services divided into five different keys:

• Positive Relationships 
• Positive Social Engagement 
• Meaningful Work Trajectories 
• Effective Coping Strategies 
• Healthy Thinking Patterns

Each category focuses on specific needs through a variety of programs. The model encourages individuals to be proactive in choosing how they focus their personal development before reentering their community. #TRANSFORMNebraska #programs #reentry
