Sentencing Circle is an alternative system of justice. It is a court where first-time offenders are sentenced by their peers and are thereby held accountable for their actions. The creative and constructive sentences handed down through Sentencing Cirlce is meant not only to deter the offender from future criminal activity, but also to educate, counsel, and rehabilitate the offender. Sentencing Circle utilizes trained student volunteers, under adult supervision, to serve in various capacities.
