Throughout the week, survivors of crime addressed attendees, offering powerful firsthand accounts of how criminal actions have shaped their lives. Their voices served as a central component of the commemoration. Meanwhile, their messages reinforced the importance of empathy, responsibility, and the lasting effects of crime beyond the immediate incident.

Acting Warden C. Rojas emphasized the significance of the event.

“National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is an important reminder that behind every crime, there is a victim, a family, and a community impacted. At CTF, we remain committed to ensuring those voices are heard and that opportunities for reflection and growth are available to those in our care,” Rojas said.
