Tribe: Chickasaw Nation
SECTION 5-701.3 GENERAL SENTENCING PROVISIONS.
A. Statement of Policy. The sentencing policy of the Chickasaw Nation in criminal
cases is to strive toward restitution and reconciliation of the offender and the victim and the
Chickasaw Nation. While one goal of sentencing is to impress upon the wrongdoer the wrong
he has committed, the paramount goal is to restore the victim and Chickasaw Nation to the
position that existed prior to the commitment of the offense, and to restore the offender to
harmony with them and the community by requiring him to right his wrongdoing. Therefore,
with consideration of these goals in mind, the provisions of this Section shall govern sentencing
for criminal offenses.
