The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) Director Scott R. Frakes made good on his promise this week to let whichever facility raised $1,000 the fastest, to shave off his facial hair in a Raise it to Shave it competition. This was one of the many ways the director encouraged NDCS teammates to raise money for United Way's charitable giving campaign. The Nebraska Correctional Center for Women won the competition. Director Frakes said his goodbyes to his mustache and goatee after having them for nearly 30 years. We asked if he plans on growing the facial hair back. He said he's starting tomorrow!

Congrats to NCCW for winning the competition and thank you to the director for encouraging facilities to find appropriate ways to have fun at work.
