OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Nisqually Tribe is starting work on a $20 million public safety complex on the reservation near Olympia that includes a jail for 288 inmates.
The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reports the jail could be expanded to hold 576 inmates. The Nisqually Tribe plans to house low-risk inmates for nearby governments and other tribes.
The project is funded with a grant from the Justice Department and a low-interest loan from the Agriculture Department.
