Nebraska’s PATH Program on Hold | Lincoln News

Nebraska’s PATH program, designed to release select inmates early under strict supervision to ease prison overcrowding and cut costs, has been shelved amid legal and procedural concerns. Critics, including the state’s Inspector General, flagged parallels to a controversial past program created outside proper legal channels. Without clear eligibility criteria, lawmakers and advocates questioned its viability, prompting the Department of Correctional Services to pause the initiative. While the goal was to incentivize good behavior and save over $13,000 per inmate annually, the lack of detail and lingering doubts have stalled progress — for now. Reentry reform remains a topic of discussion, but a PATH-style bill isn’t on the immediate agenda. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
