NDCS Research Division
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) maintains a robust research division that is responsible for producing reliable and accurate information about NDCS and its population. This ensures that key policy decisions are guided by objective findings. These data-driven decisions further the agency's mission to keep people safe by establishing safe prisons, transforming lives and creating safe communities.
