R.I. Gen. Laws § 23-18-12: Vandalism in cemetery — Civil penalties.

Any person who shall be convicted of vandalism of cemetery property shall, in addition to any fine or penalty imposed by the court, pay treble damages to the agency whose cemetery sustained the damage. In the event the convicted offender is a minor, the family court may, if it determines that the juvenile is unable to pay treble damages, require the offender to perform specified work at the cemetery site where the damage was sustained for a period of time that in the court’s opinion will equal treble the damages inflicted at the cemetery.
