Youth inmates relocated due to failing boilers

OMAHA, Neb. -- A number of inmates have been relocated amid heating issues inside a state facility.

State corrections officials say 59 inmates at the Nebraska Correctional Youth Facility were relocated to the Omaha Correctional Center.

NDCS says the boilers were not operating at a level to fully heat the Youth Facility with the dangerously cold temperatures.

Inmates from the Youth Facility are being housed in an area separate from other inmates at OCC.
