Crow Chairman Carl Venne said May 12 that the tribe had looked to acquire or arrange a federal takeover of an empty $27 million jail in Hardin, but is no longer interested after the city rebuffed the proposal.
Venne said the tribe was trying to find a use for the 464-bed jail, vacant since its completion last summer. But Crow leaders abandoned the effort after Hardin officials told Venne in a letter recently that the city “would fight to maintain control of the facility.”
