Statewide rules that apply at every Nebraska state prison

These rules are set by NDCS and apply at every unit. The full list — including all permitted and prohibited items and the approval process — is in Visiting in Nebraska.

Dress code

Open-toe shoes are allowed, but footwear must be in good repair and worn at all times.
Undergarments are required — for women, one bra and one pair of underwear; for men, one pair of underwear — and no multiple layers.
Shorts, skirts, and dresses must reach at or below the knee when standing; shirts and dresses must cover the shoulders, with no visible cleavage and no low-cut back.
No tight, see-through, or revealing clothing, and nothing with profane or offensive words or images.
You may not wear khaki pants and a khaki shirt at the same time — that resembles what incarcerated people wear.
No hats, headbands, hoods, or outerwear (clergy may wear religious headwear), and no watches or fitness trackers; a lightweight jacket or sweater is allowed only if it has no pockets.

ID: Every visitor must be approved on the incarcerated person's list first — the person mails out a Visitation Request Form. Adults and visitors 16 and older show a government photo ID at every visit; minors 18 and under bring a birth certificate to the first visit and must be with an approved adult 19 or older.
What to bring: Lock everything in your vehicle or a facility locker — only a photo ID, up to $20 in coins per visitor for vending (where allowed), prescription glasses, and limited infant items in a clear bag are permitted. Phones, smartwatches, and other electronics are barred, and bringing one in is a crime.
Scheduling: After approval, schedule online at corrections.nebraska.gov (the facility's "Schedule a Visit" page) at least 7 days ahead and up to 4 weeks out; each facility sets and posts its own visiting days and hours.

Overview

The Community Corrections Center–Omaha is one of Nebraska’s two community corrections centers — the lowest custody level and least restrictive setting. It holds men only (about 160 as of August 2025) who are typically nearing release and on work release, work detail, or educational release, so they regularly leave the facility during the day for jobs or school. It sits directly across from the Omaha Correctional Center and uses that prison’s medical clinic. Residents pay a daily room-and-board charge of $12.

What Makes CCC-Omaha Different

It is a work-release facility, so a resident may be at a job or school in the community during weekday business hours rather than at the center.
It is men-only and the smaller of Nebraska’s two community corrections centers.
In-person visiting is weekend-only and split alphabetically by last name (A-L on Saturday, M-Z on Sunday), in short time slots.
It is across the street from the Omaha Correctional Center, whose clinic provides medical care.

Visiting

The statewide NDCS rules above — the approved list, the dress code, ID, and search rules — apply at CCC-Omaha.

Getting There and Parking

The center is on Avenue J in northeast Omaha, near Eppley Airfield and across from the Omaha Correctional Center.

Distances are approximate, based on map routing.

Nearby Services

Omaha has food, gas, and lodging throughout the city. The nearest 24-hour emergency room is CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center–University Campus on Cuming Street.

Mail

Personal mail does not go to the facility. Nebraska scans incoming personal letters, cards, and photos through an off-site vendor (TextBehind, Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131); the person reads them as images on a ViaPath tablet or receives photocopies. Money, books, publications, and legal mail go to the facility’s own address — 2320 Avenue J, Omaha, NE 68110. Full addressing details are in Mail & Packages.
