Tecumseh State Correctional Institution Inmate Communication Overview
Tecumseh State Correctional Institution is a maximum and medium security prison operated by the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, located just outside the town of Tecumseh in southeastern Nebraska. It opened in 2001 and is one of the largest facilities in the Nebraska state prison system, housing men in general population as well as those in restrictive housing and specialized mental health units. Tecumseh is roughly an hour south of Lincoln and about 90 minutes from Omaha.
Nebraska's state prison system, including Tecumseh, uses JPay for messaging, photo sharing, and money transfers, and Securus for phone calls and video visitation. Families create a JPay account at jpay.com or through the JPay app to send electronic messages and photos, which are reviewed before delivery, and to add funds to a commissary account. Phone calls and video visits go through a separate Securus account, which needs its own funds.
Because Tecumseh sits in a rural part of southeastern Nebraska, in-person visits require more travel time for families based in Omaha, Lincoln, or out of state. JPay messaging and Securus calls and video visits tend to be the most consistent way to stay in touch day to day. As a facility that houses individuals with higher security classifications, expect careful screening of mail, messages, and new contacts, and plan for some delay when adding someone new to an approved list.
