51ÉçÇø, Nebraska – The Nebraska Center for Justice Research has released . The report provides an examination of correctional admissions data for males sentenced to incarceration in Nebraska from 2000 to 2013. The following are some findings from the report:

Young offenders (under 25) make up the largest group of males admitted to incarceration by age, comprising 28% of new admissions in 2013.

While rates of incarceration admissions have remained relatively stable for most racial/ethnic groups since 2000, there has been an increase in the percentage of young Black admits (from 24% in 2000 to 30.6% in 2013).

In addition to increasing incarceration admissions from 2000 to 2013, longer average sentence lengths also may have contributed to Nebraska's growing incarcerated population.
