Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts insists improvements have been made in the Department of Correctional Services, despite a deadly disturbance at the Tecumseh prison earlier this month.

Ricketts says Tecumseh staff put lessons learned from the 2015 riot into practice in responding to the uprising within a housing unit on the 2nd. . .

Ricketts says his administration has invested time and money in improving the department. . .

An uprising in a housing unit at Tecumseh left two inmates dead. The investigation into the disturbance continues. Another incident yesterday (Wednesday) injured four staff members at the prison. It was in the same housing unit that had the disturbance earlier this month. The Department of Corrections says that unit is still in modified status.
