Nebraska Correctional Center for Women

[[Image:Nccw.jpg|thumb|300 px|right|Nebraska Correctional Center for Women]] The '''Nebraska Correctional Center for Women''' ('''NCCW''') is a state correctional facility for the [[Nebraska Department of Correctional Services]]. Located just west of [[York, Nebraska]], it is the only secure state facility to house adult women. NCCW, began operation in May, 1920, through an act of the [[Nebraska State Legislature]] establishing the "State Reformatory for Women." The original facility consisted of a 2-story house that was used as an [[Incarceration|inmate]] and staff residence. The facility was a working dairy farm. The inmates assisted with the livestock. The current institution consists of 17 buildings on {{convert|27|acre|m2}} of land, secured by two security fences. The original house, known as the cottage, is still being used today as a learning center for the living skills Program. NCCW houses all security classification levels of female inmates including those in its own Diagnostic and Evaluation Center (D&E) (All male new commitments are taken to the [[Nebraska Diagnostic and Evaluation Center]] located in [[Lincoln, Nebraska|Lincoln]]). The NCCW D&E houses all new commitments. The average stay of a new commitment in the NCCW D&E is 30 days. This allows the inmate time to adjust to the institution and to learn about the institution's programs, rules, and regulations. During the evaluation period staff develop a personalized classification plan for the inmate. NCCW has been accredited by the American Correctional Association since 1981. *Security Levels: NCCW houses all classifications levels of female inmates including new commitments, court-ordered evaluators, and safe-keepers from county facilities. *Average Population: 281 *Number of Staff: 116 *Cost per Inmate per Year: $29,417.00 ==External links== * [http://www.corrections.state.ne.us Nebraska Department of Correctional Services] main website {{coord missing|Nebraska}}
