Sheriff Cabral is a pioneer in her field not only as the first woman to ever hold her position in Massachusetts but also as someone who came in and brought real accountability and progressive thinking to the Sheriff’s department. She is certainly focused on the thousands of citizens in our jails but she is just as tenaciously focused on keeping our young people from ever getting to our jails and offenders from ever returning. With eloquence and power, she speaks of upending the arrested potential of our young people and unlocking prisons of their minds. She is innovative, action-oriented, humble, and accountable- all the traits we crave in our public servants.
