List of Nebraska state prisons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of state prisons in Nebraska. There are no federal prisons in Nebraska and this list does not include county jails located in Nebraska.

Nebraska's Hastings Correctional Center was opened in 1987, served as a prison for the U.S. government U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from 2002 through 2005, then was subsequently closed.

The state of Nebraska does not have private prisons.[1] The state's Private Prison Contracting Act of 2001 spells out that any "private prison contractor shall not accept or house federal inmates or inmates from another state."[2]
