Tulalip Alternative Sentencing Program

Tulalip Alternative Sentencing Program
TULALIP ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING PROGRAM

Born out of a need to create a judicial system that Tulalip citizens can trust and that also helps offenders to recover rather than just "throwing them away," the Tulalip Tribal Court Alternative Sentencing Program supports efforts to establish a crime free community. Focusing on the mental, physical, and spiritual health of offenders, while incorporating cultural values, the program melds indigenous and therapeutic jurisprudence, Honoree Program Descriptions going beyond placing offenders in jail. Tulalip citizens now better reflect the sentiments of a traditional saying, "To pull that canoe, you have to pull together."
