To draw new talent into Nebraska’s short-staffed correctional system and show appreciation for employees who accept supervisory duties, a new cash incentive program has begun at the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. Incentives include a $3,000 signing bonus for high-demand positions at certain prisons, referral bonuses and rewards of $125 to $150 for supervisors who successfully retain employees. Prison administrators have also expanded a merit incentive program.
