Farmington Correctional Center employees and officials representing the court system and various crime victims groups gathered Tuesday afternoon for a Crime Victims’ Rights ceremony. Al Luebbers, the superintendent of the prison, explained the theme of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week this week is “Every Victim. Every Time.” He asked employees and others there to pledge to help every victim, every time — even those who decline services. Nearly 24 million Americans are harmed by crime each year.

Offenders in the Restorative Justice Program made several posters for the event that included information on how often each type of crime occurs in the nation.

Potosi Correctional Center will have a ceremony at 10 a.m. Thursday while the prison in Bonne Terre will have a ceremony at 1 p.m. Thursday.

Community members are encouraged to join in the week’s activities and get involved in helping victims of crime.
