The Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI) was established by LB 150 in 1997. In the spring of 1998 a site two miles north of Tecumseh, Nebraska on Highway 50 was selected for the institution and ground was broken in December of the same year. Hiring of initial staff commenced in late spring 2000. TSCI began accepting inmates in December 2001.
All inmates at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution are males adjudicated as adults and classified as medium or maximum custody. The institution has a capacity of 978 inmates, of which 640 are general population. There are 48 beds in the residential substance abuse unit and 64 beds assigned to the Protective Custody Unit. The facility also includes a 194-bed special management unit for inmates classified to Administrative Segregation, Disciplinary Segregation and Intensive Management statuses. While the death penalty is administered at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, Nebraska, all Death Row inmates are housed in a 32-bed Segregation Unit on HU 1-F at TSCI.
TSCI utilizes a “unit management” approach designed to improve control and staff/inmate relationships by dividing the larger institution population into smaller, more manageable groups. This approach also serves to improve and personalize the delivery of rehabilitative services.
The facility attends to the emotional and spiritual needs of the inmates through the religious programs and services. Volunteers are a vital part of our restorative programming. The facility welcomes citizens that have an interest in working with inmates as volunteers. Through programming, the facility is also able to reduce inmate idleness.
