South Dakota Department of Corrections

Kari Buckles is an accountant for Clinical Services with the South Dakota Department of Corrections.  Her husband, Colby, works at the Hughes County Jail.  Colby recently suffered a life-threatening heart condition and was life-flighted from Pierre, SD to Sioux Falls, SD.  Kari had to drive over 200 miles to be with him.  CPOF is honored to have been able to assist them with some of their medical and travel-related costs.
