Raising Puppies Behind Bars Is Helping Inmates Find Purpose

One organization is using puppies to help people in prison and first responders. Puppies Behind Bars teachers people who are incarcerated to train service dogs for veterans and first responders, some of whom are living with PTSD. The dogs help both their raisers and owners live better lives. "It's more than just women or men in prison raising dogs," a puppy raiser at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility said. "We are human beings as well and we are capable of changing and capable of giving back." #InsideEdition

We need more programs like this, we shouldn’t isolate people in jail, we need to rehab them back into society.

They should do this with dogs and cats in shelters not so much for the inmates but for the animals, at least the will have a home

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

call me crazy but i value the happiness and lives of humans over other animals, so for me itd definitely be for the inmates. jail is supposed to be rehabilitation for people, so doing something like this for them would mean a lot

[@terrariley4289]

Some prisons do you have dog and or cat programs and some of them do work with shelters or a rescue as the source for the animals they bring to the prison for the program. It just depends on the prison

[@jharr3997]

Giving certain types of inmates "a purpose" can change many lives for the positive. Imagine if an inmate did their time, got dogs/pups from the pound n opened up a business in training the dogs. That would be a great change and give the possibility that they won't return to their past life style.

seriously. so many dogs in pounds and inmates in jail. it’s such a perfect pair. there may be some factors involved such as; inmates may be incapable of raising dogs, who pays for dog food ! but that’s how inmates can work inside of prison to help pay for their food. taxpayers pay for inmates. inmates can work to pay for their pooches needs
