Nearly five dozen youth offenders at the Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility in Omaha had to be moved to an adult prison when the youth facility’s heat failed in the midst of Arctic temperatures, state prison officials said.
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services said in a news release that 59 offenders and the youth center’s staff were moved Sunday to the medium security Omaha Correctional Center that houses adult men.
The juveniles were being housed in a separate area from the adult offenders, officials said, and will be returned once repairs are made to the youth facility’s malfunctioning boilers.
