| As a unit supervisor, Fay Boyd supervises three counties, traveling to each to review cases. She believes in doing the job exactly by policy with no shortcuts, and she expects others to do the same. The only one of her five siblings to go to college, Boyd graduated in political science from East Carolina University. | Kim Richardson (right), grew up in Rich Square, near Caledonia Correctional Institution where he first worked as a correctional officer. He also spent a year working at Pasquotank Correctional Institution before joining the Chowan probation and parole office. He hoped to create a better world by being able to help offenders find their way. Dwight Ricks (left) was in charge of the clothes house at Odom Correctional Institution for 12 years before joining the probation and parole office in Chowan County. Ricks said he gets probationers from all walks of life, including one he has now with a Ph.D. | Glorious Stallings Elliott said she has to live up to her name, and everyone seems to agree that she is indeed glorious. "I always wanted to be a probation and parole officer because of my mentor, Carla Bass," Elliott said. While she was a finance officer at Martin Correctional Center, (and first female to ever work at Martin) another Carla, Carla O’Konek, inspired her to go to school. She went back to school and received a degree in criminal justice from Shaw University. At the age of 40, Glorious was taking basic training. "I love people, that’s the bottom line," said Elliott. "Some you can help, some you can’t." |
