Background
The Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW) is a state correctional facility for the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. Located in Baker Precinct, York County, Nebraska, just west of York, it is the only secure state facility to house adult women. Created by an act of the Nebraska State Legislature establishing the "State Reformatory for Women." The original facility opened in May 1920 and consisted of a two-story house that was used as an inmate and staff residence. The facility was a working dairy farm. The inmates assisted with the livestock.
