LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts reiterated Monday he has "absolute" confidence in Department of Correctional Services Director Scott Frakes, despite two prisoners escaping 10 days earlier in Lincoln.
Those inmates, both sex offenders, were recaptured, but not immediately.
Armon Dixon was back in custody June 11, the day after the prison break, but after he allegedly assaulted two women in a northeast Lincoln apartment building. Timothy Clausen was captured five days later in Omaha.
Ricketts said Frakes and his staff are working to reform the culture of the Department of Corrections.
