Rules and regulations are in place, and inmates housed at the facility are expected to follow them. Violations of rules may result in disciplinary hearings.

Support services include food service, staff development, recreation, and records management. The food service department provides inmates with three meals daily, which are nutritionally designed to meet the needs of youthful offenders. These meals are prepared under sanitary conditions with the assistance of inmates working in the foodservice department. All NCYF staff receive the required number of training hours per year as outlined in the ACA Standards. All inmate records are secured in the Records Manager's office and are managed in a confidential manner. Inmates have the opportunity to participate in a variety of recreational activities seven days a week.
All male offenders sentenced by county and district courts of the state of Nebraska are received at the Diagnostic and Evaluation Center (DEC) in Lincoln. At DEC, individuals are assigned an inmate number, photographed, fingerprinted and provide a DNA sample. All DEC intake procedures apply upon arrival.
After completion of DEC intake activities, youthful offenders are immediately transferred to NCYF. Upon arrival at NCYF, the youthful offender completes additional in-processing documents, receives an initial medical screening, assigned a room, receives his clothing and bedding, and any personal property brought with him is inventoried. Following a 30-day orientation period, individuals are placed in general population.
