Since it was first introduced at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in 2018, more than 80 incarcerated individuals have trained as Intentional Peer Support (IPS) specialists at six NDCS facilities.

Forging new beginnings starts with supportive relationships and IPS is an invaluable tool for many of our returning community members. #BuildYourFuture
