Nebraska Correctional Center for Women

Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW) began operation in May 1920 through an act of the Nebraska Legislature establishing the “State Reformatory for Women.” The original facility included a two-story farmhouse that was used as an inmate dormitory and later as the superintendent’s residence. Two additional three-story brick dormitory buildings were added in 1924 and 1926, both of which are still in use today as program areas. The Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW) is the state's only secure correctional facility for adult women. The 275-bed facility houses maximum, medium and minimum custody inmates as well as court-ordered evaluators and county safe keepers.
