The Exotic Zoo Run by Prisoners | Freethink

[@anonshrimp8299]

I'm glad that this is actually helping instead of worsening. Animals are such a good rehab tool. Why cant we have something like this combined with how Norways prisons work?

I'd just like to mention how beautiful the cinematography is in this. It's movie level stuff. Good job freethink.

My father is a new inmate at this facility and it comforts me knowing that they have such therapeutic techniques to help make recovery easier.

This would be amazing for the prison system. reform dont deform

[@SlickRellik-wm6ol]

Soon it'll take over the country and hopefully a new way of helping inmates will show a change for the better in their lifestyles

[@Adrian_Galilea]

Thanks for this! Underrated channel.

[@TazHall]

Inmates aren't the only ones who need this. We all do. The more nature in our lives the better. Crime always goes down the more we grow things or care for animals even in urban places. God made nature to show love.

[@prest4tym577]

Yes! Like starting programs like this with teens of high risk. Whether by area, or lifestyle, or circumstance. High risk teens in programs at shelters SHOULD BE A THING! Working with animals YOU ALMOST CANT LOSE!!! I WISH I WAS A BILLIONAIRE, I would change the world!!

[@blackpheasant7533]

This made me cry

[@MsThePoint]

It would be very interesting to see if the recidivism rate of Monroe inmates who spent significant time supporting the farm is lower than the rate of the population that did not.

[@freethink]

Good question! Anecdotally it tends to have a positive effect but there isn't a lot of data collected on it. Tried looking up other prison-animal programs, but again there's not a lot of robust data, though in one case a prison official said that of the 68 inmates in a canine-therapy program, none had reoffended. www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/71_1_6_0.pdf

[@brainsreptiles]

Wow this felt like a movie trailer and this is much better then just cells all day hoping nobody uses the animals to escape or hurt them

[@jacklinlachev9269]

This is huge, we need more rehabilitation programs like this, truly.

[@justindmoody]

At first I thought this would be some abuse video because as a kid you are taught "stranger danger" and "don't trust strangers" and I and very happy that they did this for the people and the animals

[@PaxxTan]

This is such a brilliant idea that serves so many creatures in so many levels

[@erinmcdonald7781]

It's been a rough 4 years. Hope this model finally gets its chance in more states. 💜✌️😎

[@dane1382]

damn 3 years and still this little exposure? its time for the recommendation gods to pick this up!

[@ziixgz]

Agreed!

[@Uniquemitten]

Just now seeing this. Such a great story. ❤️

[@prest4tym577]

The picture of Mike & Ghost.. should be matted & framed in a rustic wood frame, and hung on the wall for all to see, inmates are not all created equally, and most deserve a second chance. Not just to be locked up, forgot about during their time, but deserving of a chance to DO BETTER NEXT TIME! Love this idea, it should spread... like LOVE.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4399]

This puts a smile on my face

[@candycat8516]

love her and love this idea! rescue animals get a home and love and the inmates get a purpose, love and healing...that way everyone wins :3

This should have more views

[@jmaguinness]

For people that want to change they should all go to one jail pod and work together and bring up ideas to the guards and have the prison bring different ways to rehabilitate them because you can see this changed so many people. Animals is a type of mentor in a way Animals don’t judge they will love anyone and if they die they will love you from where they are then.

[@mz610]

Dope footage. What kinda cam yall use for this? Bmpcc? Canon c300?

[@fableagain]

[@jarrodsworld4113]

Why have I never heard of this?

[@TheRealJimmyLOL]

when the in mates are released are they aloud to take the animals? Because they formed a giant bond and the animal would start being sad

[@FuzzySockZ]

Imagine walking around with a gator LOL. But yeah they probably won’t unless the have a strong bond like that horse and that one guy.

[@julesjukebox7067]

Is it bad that I kinda wanna go to this jail just to work with the animals?

[@jerryreeds3306]

Inmates are human to, and yes some don't deserve that right, but we all screw up some get caught some don't
