NE DOC – Omaha Correctional Center (OCC) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 402-595-3963
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Omaha Correctional Center located at 2323 Ave J in Omaha, NE are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
The OCC is a medium/minimum security state prison facility located on a 37-acre site just south of Eppley Airfield that houses adult male inmates. Inmates are housed in single, double and multiple occupancy cells depending on their security level. OCC has educational programs that include adult basic education, GED courses, substance abuse and mental health counseling, and self-betterment classes. Other treatments available at this facility include anger management, sex offender treatment, crisis intervention, and psychiatric services.
OCC has a separate entrance building as well as an inner complex including an indoor/outdoor visiting area, a library, a religious center, dental and medical area, restrictive housing unit, academic and pre-employment training areas, central physical plant, laundry, kitchen and dining room, Cornhusker State Industries, canteen and a gymnasium.
Programs – Inmates at the facility are afforded educational opportunities. The facility attempts to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of the inmates through the programs and services of religious activities.
Through programming, the facility has been able to reduce inmate idleness. Treatment programming is always at capacity due to the sizable number of drug and sex offenders at the Omaha Correctional Center. The Omaha Correctional Center hosts the Substance Abuse Unit for Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Services as well as a Non-Residential Services program.
The facility is always looking for committed citizens that have an interest in helping our inmates as volunteers. Volunteers are a vital part of our restorative programming.
