LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska prison officials have found more sentencing errors during a review spurred by past problems with the way sentences were calculated.
Prison officials said Saturday that the sentences of 425 people in prison and 80 more on parole have been extended.
The latest errors involve inmates who improperly received credit for good time that shortened their sentences after their parole had been revoked.
Prisons Director Mike Kenney says the cases of another 800 inmates are being reviewed for similar problems.
The Department of Correctional Services and state Attorney General's office have been reviewing sentences since the Omaha World-Herald reported earlier this year on errors in roughly 700 sentences that let some inmates out of prison early.
