通常会根据犯罪行为的严重性来确定制裁措施。 根据《宪法》第 76 条，议会可决定议员享有的特权和豁免，议员享有免于因任 何民事诉讼或事项被逮捕和列席的豁免权（1986 年《议会特权、豁免和权力法 案》第 7 条）。议员豁免权已被撤销（Tetaua Taitai 博士诉议长案）。总统在刑 事事项中没有豁免权。 基里巴斯总检察长享有广泛的检察裁量权。在实践中，在符合《宪法》关于总 检察长权力和任务的第 42 条的情况下，法律自由裁量权一般由检察官行使。《刑事诉讼法》第 106 至 109 条（第 17 章）述及待审或待上诉期间的释放条 件。1986 年《假释裁决委员会法》原则上对假释作出了规定，过去五年内无被 控犯有腐败相关罪行的囚犯获得假释。 《国家服务条款》包含对被控或被判定犯有刑事罪行的公职人员实施纪律措施 的相关规定。被告人在等待接受刑事审判期间即已被暂停公职：Karianako Kamaua（民事案件）。 基里巴斯制定了一个囚犯重新融入社会方案，涵盖生活技能和职业培训。有报 告指出基里巴斯必须彻底审查《监狱条例》。
The determination of sanctions generally takes into account the gravity of offences. According to article 76 of the Constitution, the Parliament may determine the privileges and immunities of its members, who enjoy immunities from arrest and attendance in any civil cause or matter (section 7, Privileges, Immunities and Powers of the Maneaba ni Maungatabu Act 1986). The immunity of members of Parliament has been lifted (Dr. Tetaua Taitai v. Speaker of Parliament). The President does not have immunity in criminal matters. The Attorney General of Kiribati enjoys broad prosecutorial discretion. In practice, the discretionary legal powers are often used by the prosecutors, subject to article 42 of the Constitution, which addresses the powers and mandate of the Attorney General. Sections 106-109 of the Criminal Procedure Code (chapter 17) address conditions on release pending trial or appeal. Parole is regulated principally under the Parole Board Act 1986, and no inmates charged with corruption-related offences have been released on parole in the past five years. Relevant provisions with respect to the disciplinary measures against public officials accused or convicted of criminal misconduct are found in the National Conditions of Service (NCS). Accused persons have been suspended from public office pending criminal proceedings: Karianako Kamaua (civil case). Kiribati has established a prisoner reintegration programme, which covers life skills and vocational training. There is a reported need for Kiribati to overhaul the Prisons Ordinance.
