§8.6.12 Sentencing. In sentencing a youth offender, the Court may impose one or more of the following sanctions and/or jail time specified for a particular offense, provided that detention time imposed shall not exceed the maximum jail time which could be imposed upon an adult or the maximum as set forth for status offenses:
(a) Detention;
(b) Electronic home-monitoring;
(c) Fines;
(d) Costs, including costs for administration of electronic home monitoring;
(e) Mandatory school attendance with proof of attendance and submission of grades to the Court on a regular basis;
(f) Restitution;
(g) Probation;
(h) Community service hours if agreed to by the prosecutor;
(i) Individual and/or family counseling;
(j) Evaluation and treatment, including residential treatment, of alcohol abuse, other substance abuse, and mental illness;
(k) Healing ceremonies, talking circles, sobriety drum, canoe society, or any other cultural event or program as may be appropriate; or
(l) Any other alternative as may seem just to the Court.
The burden of the sentence shall fall primarily on the youth rather than on the parent, but the parent, guardian, or custodian may be required by the Court to supervise the youth and see that the sentence is carried out. If the Court finds, in the course of proceedings against a youth, that he or she is in need of care as defined by this title, the Court shall have broad powers to issue orders for the protection of the youth and to assist the family to provide better care for the youth.
