Nebraska Diagnostic and Evaluation Center, Maximum security correctional facility in Lincoln, United States
The Nebraska Diagnostic and Evaluation Center is a high-security prison in Lincoln that houses male offenders. The facility contains nine separate housing units and an infirmary all situated within a single connected building structure.
The Nebraska state legislature created this facility through legislation in 1976, and it began operations in August 1979. It was designed specifically as an assessment center for evaluating and classifying newly arrived male inmates.
The facility provides multiple support programs including Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, parenting classes, and religious services to support inmate rehabilitation.
Visitors must request access at least seven days before their visit and are assigned appointment times based on the inmate's identification number. Plan to bring identification with you and check in advance about any restrictions or updated visiting procedures.
All newly arrived inmates undergo comprehensive medical, psychological, and social assessments upon intake. These evaluations determine their security level, housing assignment, and programming recommendations for their entire stay.
