Nebraska Inmate Communication Overview
Nebraska operates its state prison system through the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS). Securus Technologies handles phone calls at Nebraska state correctional facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net to set up an account. Nebraska is not among the states that offer free phone calls at state prisons. The NDCS number is required for all communication accounts and mail. Use the NDCS inmate search at corrections.nebraska.gov to find the NDCS number and current facility.
Nebraska state facilities include the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution in Tecumseh, and the Diagnostic and Evaluation Center in Lincoln. All non-privileged calls at NDCS facilities are monitored and recorded. JPay handles money deposits to Nebraska inmate trust accounts. Three-way calling and call forwarding are prohibited.
Nebraska county jails use their own phone vendors independently from NDCS state facilities. Douglas County Department of Corrections in Omaha uses Securus Technologies. Lancaster County Jail in Lincoln uses its own contracted provider. Always confirm the specific provider for each county facility. Visitor applications at NDCS facilities require background checks and take several weeks to process.
Which provider do Nebraska state prison families use?
Securus Technologies handles phone calls at NDCS Nebraska state facilities. Contact Securus at 800-844-6591 or visit securustech.net. JPay handles money deposits at jpay.com. Use the NDCS inmate search at corrections.nebraska.gov to find the NDCS number and current facility. Douglas County in Omaha also uses Securus but with a separate account.
What is the NDCS number and how do I find it?
The NDCS number is the identification number assigned to every person in Nebraska DOC custody. You need it for Securus and JPay account setup and for all mail. Find it through the NDCS inmate search at corrections.nebraska.gov or ask your loved one. The NDCS number is different from any court case number.
What is the most common mistake Nebraska prison families make?
Not distinguishing between Douglas County Corrections in Omaha and NDCS state prisons is common. Douglas County also uses Securus but requires a separate account from the NDCS state prison account. Families who fund a Securus account for state prison and then try to use it for Douglas County calls may have issues. Always set up separate accounts for each facility.
