Beyond the Badge, Victim & Survivor Rights & Services

CDCR Unlocked podcast talks outreach

In this episode of the CDCR Unlocked podcast, we sat down with Tammy Fenton, who oversees outreach efforts as well as the Accountability Letter Bank Program for the Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services.

Graphic with the words: Options, services, and hope for crime survivors. How would you help? National Crime Victims' Rights Week, April 21-27, 2024.

Fenton walks us through the ways her office reaches the community and has recently made great strides in making those efforts more accessible with translation services.

She also discusses the Accountability Letter Bank program and why outreach efforts ensure clients know about every option available to them – including those focusing on restorative justice.
