An inmate who failed to return to the Community Corrections Center – Lincoln last month has been arrested by police in Omaha. Raymond Jimenez was taken into custody Tuesday and has since been transferred to the Lancaster County jail.
Jimenez was supposed to return to the facility after going to a job service in downtown Lincoln on April 7. He is now facing a charge of escape. Jimenez’ sentence started June 15, 2020. He was sentenced to four to six and a half years for charges out of Douglas County that include operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest and possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person.
Jimenez’ tentative release date is August 10, 2022. 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.
