Crime Victims United of California unveiled its "Crime Victims Memorial Wall" in
1998, as a remembrance to the 325 victims of the 184 affirmed convicted killers
currently on California's Death Row.
The portable, five-panel wall stands five feet tall, and measures 10 feet in
length. The memorial is constructed of beautiful faux green marble and displays
the crime victim's names in elegant gold lettering. As a living memorial, it
has space for more victims' names to be added, as more of the 356 additional
inmates on Death Row finally are affirmed for execution.
CVUC made the Memorial Wall available for victims' rights and public safety
functions across the state, for press conferences with candidates for federal
and state office that had been endorsed by Crime Victims United. The Memorial
Wall will be proudly displayed at the office of Crime Victims United of
California in Sacramento, California.
The Crime Victims Memorial Wall was a gift to CVUC through the generous
donation of California Correctional Peace Officer Association and the
California Union of Safety Employees.
