Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) announces that it will be issuing a request for information (RFI) in order to identify possible options for the construction, maintenance and creation of new prison capacity.

“In particular, this will allow for the exploration of a public-private partnership that could provide certain benefits to the state including an accelerated timeline to build and a long term lease agreement, with the potential to own any new facility at the end,” said Dir. Frakes.

“Part of what the RFI will help inform is the optimum location to meet staffing needs and delivery of services. The other thing is that modern prisons incorporate the latest technologies, energy efficiencies and accommodations that don’t require the same level of staffing as older prisons.”
