The Arizona Department of Corrections Director, Dora Schriro, in
partnership with the crime victim community and other victim services
agencies, established the first Office of Victim Services (OVS) within
the Arizona Department of Corrections to ensure that all crime
victims are treated with dignity and respect throughout an inmate's
incarceration and community supervision/parole periods. OVS provides
comprehensive victim services and has implemented victim-focused
Restorative Justice programs, which hold offenders accountable for their
conduct. 1645 W. Jefferson - MC250 Phoenix, AZ 85007 602-542-1853 1-866-787-7233 |
