The NCYF is a male correctional institution housing both general population adult units and specialized housing for youthful offenders tried as adults. Operating as a maximum, medium, and minimum security facility, NCYF spans approximately 54,000 square feet and was constructed at a cost of around $10.8 million. Accredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA) since 2000, NCYF focuses on custody and unit management to ensure safety for staff, inmates, and the public while emphasizing programming and discipline.

Inmates at NCYF have access to a range of recreational activities offered seven days a week. Youthful offenders have the opportunity to apply for community custody programs, including work detail, work release, or education release, aimed at their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

All male offenders sentenced by Nebraska county and district courts are initially processed at the Reception and Treatment Center (RTC) in Lincoln. At RTC, inmates undergo intake procedures such as obtaining an inmate number, photography, fingerprinting and providing a DNA sample.

Following completion of intake procedures at RTC, youthful offenders are promptly transferred to NCYF. Upon arrival, they undergo additional in-processing, receive an initial medical screening, are assigned living quarters, and are provided with clothing, bedding, and an inventory of personal belongings. After a 30-day orientation period, individuals transition into the general population of the facility.
