It's a remarkable thing to be the cause of change in someone's life," said Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral during a recent press conference. "It's also a remarkable thing for a correctional institution to embrace that goal. "Women's needs are different from men's and there are different factors that lead to female crime," said [Julie White].
