In prison, Nikko Jenkins was deemed too dangerous to mix with other inmates - Omaha.com
In the two years before his release into the general population of Omaha, Nikko Jenkins wasn't even released into the general population of his prison.
The main reason: He was too dangerous to mix with other inmates.
Yet prison administrators launched him from their most extreme confinement — a segregated cell where he spent 23 hours a day — into the Omaha community.
They did so despite warnings from Jenkins' family, friends, judges, psychiatrists, prosecutors, Parole Board staff, even Jenkins himself.
In an email two months before Jenkins' release, Trudy Clark, an administrative assistant to the Nebraska Parole Board, wrote the director of the state corrections' mental health unit.
“This email is written from a personal level only,” Clark wrote.
“Why isn't Nikko Jenkins in the mental health unit?
The board is getting letters from him that he is going to eat people, specifically Christians and Catholics.
This is only one of many bizarre letters the board has gotten from him.
Is he being evaluated for a mental health commitment?
As a taxpayer, this guy scares me to death!”
.........Within three weeks of his July 30 release, authorities allege, Jenkins killed Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz and Juan Uribe-Pena in Spring Lake Park; Curtis Bradford near 18th and Clark Streets; and Andrea Kruger near 168th and Fort Streets.
