The current Wind River Tribal Court.
Courthouses of the West: Wind River Indian Reservation Tribal Court: This is the Wind River Indian Reservation Tribal Court, which also houses various other law related facilities. The court is located in F...An interesting article in the Star Tribune reports that representatives of the Tribal judicial system appeared in front of a committee of the Wyoming legislature this past week to seek support, which they received, for a new judicial center. The Federal government will have to provide the funding, but state support can't hurt.
The jail is grossly overcrowded and apparently the new three judge panel for the Court is enforcing the criminal law much more rigorously than in the past. The deficiencies of the courthouse, which includes the jail and the headquarters for the police department, are showing themselves. About three times as many prisoners are housed there on a daily basis than it was built for.
I can attest personally that the courtroom is quite inadequate. I hope they receive the funding they're seeking, and soon.
