Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility Overview
Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility, often abbreviated NCYF, is an NDCS male correctional facility at 2610 N 20th St. E., Omaha, NE 68110. The facility phone number listed in the research is 402-595-2000. NCYF is a state facility, not a Douglas County jail facility, even though it is located in Omaha.
NDCS describes NCYF as a male facility with general-population adult housing units and specialized housing for youthful offenders who were adjudicated as adults. The facility includes maximum, medium, and minimum security. That mix makes NCYF different from Community Corrections Center - Omaha, which is a community-custody work-release facility, and different from the Douglas County Correctional Center, which is the local jail for current county custody.
The official NDCS page for Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility is the source for the facility role, size, security, and intake description. The image below links back to that NDCS facility source and should be read as state correctional facility information, not a county roster screenshot.
Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility Capacity and Population
The research does not provide an official bed capacity for Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility. It does state that the facility covers about 54,000 square feet and cost about $10.8 million. Since no official capacity number was captured for NCYF, this page avoids inventing one and uses the verified size and custody description instead.
NCYF's population should not be counted as part of the Douglas County jail population. The local jail count belongs to the Douglas County Correctional Center. NCYF residents are in NDCS custody after state admission or transfer, including adult men and youthful offenders adjudicated as adults.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility
Use NDCS Incarceration Records to search for someone at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility. The Douglas County jail roster is designed for people currently held by Douglas County Corrections after local booking, court commitment, or short local custody. NCYF is a state prison facility, so the statewide locator is the correct search route.
- Open the official NDCS incarceration-record search.
- Search by Last Name, or use the DCS Id Number if you have it. First Name is optional.
- Complete the hCaptcha and use Submit. The page also includes Clear and Download All controls.
- Check whether the profile lists Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility as the current facility.
- Use the profile details, court records, and NDCS contact routes to confirm sentence, offense, release, and facility status when the information is time-sensitive.
The NDCS locator is separate from local court searches and from the county jail inmate locator. If a person was arrested recently in Omaha and has not been sentenced or transferred to NDCS, start with Douglas County jail inmate records. If the question is what charges were filed after the arrest, use Douglas County court records after jail arrest rather than assuming NCYF custody.

Visiting Someone at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility
NDCS visitation rules apply at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility. Visitors must be approved before scheduling because all visitors, including adults and minors, need to be on the incarcerated person's visiting list. The incarcerated person initiates the process by sending a Visitation Request Form, and processing usually takes four to six weeks from receipt according to the research.
Scheduling is also controlled by NDCS. Requests must be submitted at least seven days before the selected date and can be scheduled up to four weeks out. Virtual visits should be requested at least three days before the visit. Visitors age 16 and older must bring photo identification. Minors need a birth certificate during the first visit. In-person visitors should arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled visit, and virtual visitors provide their own equipment and internet connection.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility
The research did not capture an NCYF-specific mailing format, phone account provider, video provider, commissary provider, or family deposit fee table. Since the facility is state-run, county jail rules and Douglas County vendor pages should not be copied onto this page. Families should use NDCS facility instructions or call NCYF before sending mail, scheduling communication, or making deposits.

Booking and Intake at Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility
NCYF intake is a state-prison intake and transfer process, not a county arrest booking. NDCS states that all male offenders sentenced by county and district courts first arrive at the Reception and Treatment Center in Lincoln. At RTC, the person receives an inmate number, is photographed and fingerprinted, provides DNA, and completes intake before assignment or transfer.
Youthful offenders transfer to Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility after RTC intake. Once at NCYF, they complete additional in-processing, initial medical screening, room assignment, clothing and bedding issue, and property inventory. The research also notes a 30-day orientation before general population.
This distinction is important when tracking someone after a Douglas County case. A person may appear first in the county jail system, then in court records, and then in NDCS records after sentencing and state admission. The county jail roster is useful for current local custody. The NDCS locator is the right source after the person has entered state correctional custody.
About Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility
NCYF's buildings cover about 54,000 square feet, and the facility cost about $10.8 million. NDCS says it has been accredited by the American Correctional Association since 2000. The facility operates with maximum, medium, and minimum security levels, which reflects its adult general-population units and specialized youthful-offender housing.
Custody and unit management at NCYF focus on safety, programming, discipline, and protection of staff, inmates, and the public. The research states that inmates have recreational opportunities seven days a week. Youthful offenders may apply for community custody programs, including work detail, work release, and education release, when eligibility and NDCS decision-making support that move.
NCYF is one of three NDCS facilities physically located in Douglas County and Omaha, along with Omaha Correctional Center and Community Corrections Center - Omaha. These facilities belong on a Douglas County inmate-population site because families often search by city or county, but they should not be treated as county jail facilities. For the county jail, use Douglas County Corrections. For NCYF, use NDCS.
