LOUISIANA - When Anna Caffery was young, she always thought she would be a lawyer when she grew up; she knew she wanted to help people. But after seven years as a corrections officer with the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office Caffery realized this is the way she was meant to make a difference, not as an attorney.

"I have a passion for helping people," she said. "My goal is the help the ones that I can ... well, help the ones that want to be helped anyway."

Although Caffery said she's passionate about making a difference for anyone that's ready to be helped, it's the young people that she sees come into the jail the she thinks about the most.

"When I see young kids that come through the jail it's hard; it hurts," she said. "It kills me to see them keep coming back because I have a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old, both boys. I try my best to come up with something, a program maybe, to change that. One day I'm going to come up with it; I know I am." Read more.
