Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts defends the decision by state Corrections Director Scott Frakes to not release a less than flattering report on the Tecumseh state prison riot of 2015.
The report came to light during a civil trial charging the state with neglect in the riot which killed two and caused two million dollars damage on Mother’s Day more than three years ago.
Ricketts says Frakes didn’t release it, because he wasn’t going to follow its conclusions. . .

The report, which cost the state 20-Thousand dollars, became public during a civil trial which charges the state with neglect in the riot.
Ricketts rejects the notion that Frakes declined to release the report, because it wasn’t flattering to the Department of Corrections. . .

Another report which was released claimed there was little the state could have done to prevent the riot, while the unreleased report placed partial blame on the state failing to address problems within the prison.
The riot did 2-Million dollars in damage to the prison and left two inmates dead.
