Our mission is to use work as a tool to prepare incarcerated men and women for successful reentry back into our communities. We provide meaningful work experience by building quality products, providing services and creating value for our external customers. Work skills are supplemented with training, education and certifications so incarcerated men and women can effectively translate their abilities into post-release success. Cornhusker State Industries (CSI) is the self-supporting industries program for the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. We market goods and services produced by incarcerated men and women workers within NDCS facilities to our customer base of tax-supported entities, political subdivisions, state agencies, boards, and commissions, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. Ultimately, CSI supports all Nebraskans by developing marketable job skills and work ethic among our incarcerated men and women workers, aiding their return to society as responsible citizens. Our workers take justifiable pride in the craftsmanship of our products, while at the same time learning the importance of working responsibly as a part of our production teams. The patronage of our customers is vital to our continued success in maintaining and expanding both our programming and product lines. Since CSI is a program of the NDCS, we adhere and share the Mission, Vision and Values of NDCS. This is an Official Nebraska Government Page.
