Inmate dies at TSCI

March 6, 2020 (Lincoln, NE) – Gary Landanger #82717, age 72, died shortly after 4:00 a.m. at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI). His sentence started on September 2, 2015. Landanger was serving a four to seven year sentence out of Wayne County for possession of child pornography and visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct.  

While the cause of death has yet to be determined, Landanger was being treated for a medical condition. As is the case whenever an inmate dies in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
