Juvenile center could get tribal funds

TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 2002

The Nez Perce Tribe is considering funding a local detention center, a local official said.

The tribe would provide $150,000 a year in exchange for six of the 16 beds. This would enable the tribe to keep its juvenile offenders locally instead of sending them out of state.
