The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina might garnish the casino per capita payments of tribal jail inmates.

The inmates could be forced to pay a portion of their costs for being jailed. A draft resolution is being developed.

“It was something we had talked about the past,” council member Perry Shell told The Smoky Mountain News. “I think it’s a good idea.”

Tribal members receive about $8,000 a year in gaming per capita payments.
