Tribe: United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma
Section 403. General Sentencing Provisions
(a) Statement of Policy. The sentencing policy of the Tribe in criminal cases is to strive toward restitution and reconciliation of the offender and the victim and Tribe. While one goal of sentencing is to impress upon the wrongdoer the wrong they have committed, the paramount goal is to restore the victim and Tribe to the position that existed prior to commitment of the offense, and to restore the offender to harmony with them and the community by requiring them to right their wrongdoing. Therefore, with consideration of these goals in mind, the provisions of this Chapter shall govern Tribal sentencing for criminal offenses.
