LINCOLN - The Nebraska State Penitentiary operated under its emergency response plan after an overnight thunderstorm Saturday damaged roofs on two housing units.

A corrections department press release said units housing 387 inmates were damaged, but there were no injuries. Staff moved 250 inmates to the gym and other available housing units. The remaining 137 inmates were relocated to gyms at the Omaha Correctional Center and the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution.
