A supervisor at the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services Work Ethic Camp in McCook has been accused of sexually abusing an inmate. In a news release, the Department said 41-year-old Bridget Matson, a chemical dependency supervisor at the Work Ethic Camp (WEC) in McCook, was arrested by the Nebraska State Patrol on September 10, 2019 for unauthorized communication with a prisoner and sexual abuse of an inmate.&nbsp; Matson has been employed by NDCS since August of 2011. She started as a chemical dependency treatment specialist at WEC. Matson was promoted to supervisor in April of 2017.&nbsp; Matson resigned her position at NDCS and was booked into the Red Willow County Jail.&nbsp; Director Scott R. Frakes reinforced the agency’s zero tolerance policy. “Whether it has to do with conveying contraband to an inmate or establishing a personal relationship, high standards for behavior are there for a reason. Failure to behave in a strictly professional manner puts the safety and security of our facilities in jeopardy. It is not acceptable,” said Frakes.
