LINCOLN, Neb. – An inmate who went missing from the Community Corrections Center – Lincoln (CCC-L) is back in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS). George Piper #50216 turned himself in today and was transported to the Reception and Treatment Center in Lincoln.

Piper disappeared on February 2, 2023, when he did not return to the facility from his job in the community. He started his sentence on October 27, 1997. He was sentenced to 35 to 52 years on charges out of Red Willow and Frontier Counties that include first degree sexual assault, second degree assault, burglary and escape. Piper has a tentative release date of November 19, 2023, and a schedule parole hearing in August 2023.

CCC-L is one of two community custody facilities operated by NDCS. Community custody is the lowest custody level and the least restrictive facility. Inmates are allowed to participate in work opportunities, attend school and religious services with prior approval and without direct supervision.
