10.15.140 Sentencing options.
(a) In keeping with traditional Yurok values, the Court may require a person convicted of an offense who has injured a person(s), property of a person(s), or another entity, to make restitution or to compensate for the injury through surrender of property, payment of money damages, or the performance of any other act for the benefit of the victim, or any combination of the above. Any restitution or compensation is wholly separate from any fine that may also be imposed.
(b) The Court, at its discretion, may choose to provide alternative sentencing options for defendant(s) who are sentenced for misdemeanor or felony convictions in Tribal Court. These options include, but are not limited to:
(1) A Tribal correctional center that has been approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for long-term incarceration;
(2) The nearest available and appropriate federal facility, at the expense of the United States;
(3) A state or local government-approved detention or correctional center, pursuant to an agreement between the Yurok Tribe and the state or local government;
(4) An alternative rehabilitation center of a tribe; or
(5) An alternative form of punishment, as determined by the Tribal Court, taking into consideration Tribal law and customs. [Ord. 62B § 4202, amended, 11/7/2019.]
