Grant Overview
South Dakota Restorative Justice Program Readiness Requirements South Dakota’s 66 counties contain 11 counties with zero licensed mental health professionals and 23 counties with fewer than two. Restorative justice programs must therefore demonstrate access to telehealth platforms certified by the state Department of Social Services and backup in-person facilitators located within 90 miles of every participant. Population density of 11.3 persons per square mile outside Sioux Falls and Rapid City necessitates mobile service delivery plans. Workforce constraints center on tribal court capacity. The nine tribal nations operate separate juvenile codes; programs must secure memoranda of understanding with at least two tribal courts before serving youth from those reservations. State circuit courts require that facilitators complete 40 hours of South Dakota-specific training on state juvenile diversion statutes, distinct from national restorative justice curricula. Readiness documentation includes letters from county sheriffs confirming willingness to accept written restorative agreements in place of formal petitions. Budgets must allocate 22 percent of funds to interpreter services because 14 percent of youth referred in border counties speak Lakota or Spanish as primary language at home. Vehicle mileage reimbursement is capped at the state rate of $0.42 per mile due to average one-way travel distances of 78 miles. Infrastructure limits include broadband download speeds below 25 Mbps in 47 percent of non-metropolitan zip codes, requiring offline curriculum modules and printed participant workbooks. Demographic data show that 29 percent of youth aged 12–17 in the state are American Indian, yet only 8 percent of current diversion facilitators share that background, creating documented matching requirements. South Dakota applications differ from North Dakota submissions by requiring explicit coordination with the state’s single tribal juvenile detention facility in Marty rather than reliance on state-run facilities.
