TSCI staff member injured in assault


Nebraska Department of Corrections

July 10, 2025 (Tecumseh, Neb.) –  A staff member at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI) sustained serious* injuries in an inmate assault yesterday.  

The inmate attacked the staff member in a support building with a homemade weapon. Multiple staff responded to the assault and restrained the inmate. The staff member received stitches at the hospital for lacerations to the arm, thumb and forehead.

NDCS deployed multiple SERVES members to support TSCI staff. SERVES is an NDCS special team that delivers resilience-promoting interventions to staff members and their families prior to, during and following a critical incident. 

An investigation of the incident has been launched. Findings will be provided to the county attorney for determination of criminal prosecution. The NDCS disciplinary process will be utilized with sanctions such as loss of good time, applied according to the rules and regulations.

*Assaults with serious injury: A serious injury requires urgent and immediate medical treatment and restricts the person’s usual activity. Medical treatment should be more extensive than mere first aid, such as the application of bandages to wounds. It might include stitches, use of Dermabond or other topical adhesive, setting of broken bones, treatment of concussion, loss of consciousness, etc.
