One step forward to a new prison system. Sorry to say but America's prison system is very outdated. It shouldn't be focussed on punishment, but on rehabilitation. Helping convicts with picking up a normal life. Treating them as human beings like this is the first step.
And they have an actual job in prison. That has something to do with the 'outside'-it's not swabbing floors, sth that is just _prison_ chores. They have responsibility, they need to be disciplined; no slacking off or I bet they're outta there real fast! And like the chief said: it has made them "nicer", a little softer, and isn't that nice when they get out. I love that the big tough looking black guy loved that little floofy dog most of all! Daww.
Sam Love dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, generally animals you can interact with are good for that purpose. Those animals require attention to be interacted with, that attention brings responsibility with it. Generally I like the idea of this
At the very least, somebody who is locked in a cell for years/decades/life can give a full life to something that is locked in a cage for 3 *DAYS* before it's killed just because the cage needed to be emptied for another one.
We have a program at the Humane Society in my county called the Ridge program :) We send dogs that are difficult to adopt out due to behavioral problems to the prison to work with inmates. They teach the dogs basic obedience and manners and really make a difference :)
What state is this and do you have a website I can see? I'm doing a research project for my English class and I want to do something that is great rehabilitation for the US inmate population.
ivegottaluvlikewoe are there a lot of pits/terriers? Some inmates with experience in pit bulls would be their own chance... I wish we had programs in Texas that weren't only punishment based
Been there,done that,not going back. I want to start a shelter but it takes money and hard work,and passion for it. Got everything but the money,maybe soon.
You have to have the right kind of prisoner. Letting a sociopath loose among these animals will do more harm than good. You should note in the video where the colonel said that the prisoners here are carefully selected. This will NOT work with all prisoners. But it should be expanded where it makes sense and prisoners who could benefit from it should get that chance.
Just further proof that love is the most powerful magic in this world. It transforms people, it redeems them, it saves them. I've seen these programs work for prison inmates and our returning vets from Iraq & Afghanistan, all the way to the Comfort Dogs who are first responders in hurricanes, school shootings and earthquakes. Talking to a therapist can sometimes only do so much.
What a fantastic way to help on both sides - who could possibly empathise with the plight of animals stuck in shelters. Gives the convicts a purpose and they benefit from the unconditional love and affection animals offer those they trust.
What a great program. This actually helps in rehabilitating prisoners and not just punishing them. They may come out better people as a result. The animals get a second chance and this will help so many homeless animals. So many inmates have abuse backgrounds and have never known love.
this is a win-win program! I visited the website of prisondogs and found it incredible sad that they feel it necessary to mention that no taxpayers money is used for the program. what if not such programs is worth every cent? enough tax money is wasted on death sentences and other impossible senseless things...
Prison is just storage, punishment. While they're there, wouldn't it be smart to try to rehabilitate them? Or they will just let out the same person that came in (or a worse one)-a criminal-into society. That's real smart...
grytlappar Thats how it should be. There are people, with the right program, can really change. Now there are some people who honestly cannot change (serial killers, pychotics, etc) but thats rare. Most people in prison are a lot of times non violent offenders with addictions. But according to a lot of the good ol' folks of this country, even if you commit the most harmless crime, once you're in prison thats it, whatever happens to you in there is what it is, even if that means torture.
Look at this! this is what needs to happen! the animals are changing the inmates and teaching them love, responsibility, respect, trust, and kindness. They are helping each other. This is what works!
this is an amazing idea that needs to be funded and done in EVERY prison possible. second chance for animal and prisoner. helps them both out. something needs to be done so that this is more common.
SUCH a great idea! Another place for shelter animals to go when many shelters are already full, a purposeful task for inmates while both give and get attention and affection. Win-win situation.
i hope with all my heart that this program produces tangible results and that this kind of program becomes the norm, beautiful video, that black guy at the end brought a tear to my eye, i hope hes on the road to recovery.
This video is so awesome. It makes me cry with tears of joy. It never ceases to amaze me how animals after being so neglected and abused can still have so much love to give.
Every! prison should be like this, have Puppy time with the animals, so they can have someone to talk to and be with. is very touching. i love this.amazing story
Im very happy for shit like this. For so many reasons, this gives life back to the inmates and to the animals, it kind of makes sure theyre all taken care of, everyone who is involved and all the animals they care for, it adds another resource for animals and another place for them to stay, it lowers the amount of animals being euthanized, its therapeutic for the inmates and any of the guards who care about it. It allows any inmates who spend time with the animals to be away from the prison life, kind of gives them a second life to live while incarcerated. And im very glad they brought up the fact that not everyone is suited to do the work, you have to remember some people really are in prison for very good reason. And of course some guards and wardens arent good people either. I hope the shelter facility is being well monitored.
I also appreciate that they let the inmates wear normal looking cloths. Some prisons don't want the prisoners to wear normal looking clothing because they say it makes them "too confident," which I think is a pretty disgusting attitude to take towards another person, even if they may have broken the law.
thus is wonderful!! Animals are the therapist in the world! in a matters of a second they can teach you so much that no other human teach you in a lifetime
The ToxicBadger that's not necessarily true. The first cat I ever owned came from a prison yard where the inmates were trying to drown it AS A KITTEN in a puddle....So no, some people are just garbage.
Excellent program! I've known about it 4 some time, but grrreat seeing results...the men & animals r rehabbing one another! I DO love a WIN - WIN, baby!!! Yesss 😘😘😘
Puppy+Bible+Consoling+Educational Programs= a REAL chance for these people to be rehabilitated. A lot of these guys missed one thing in their youth, LOVE. We need more love in the world if we ever want peace.
Except prisons are government institutions, so in America they can't promote the Bible (or any other religious text) due to separation of church and state. But programs like this one, counseling, education, etc. are wonderful ideas!
There is a thing like this at a prison near where I live. Dogs that were victims of dog fighting, neglect, or abuse go to the prison, and the inmates get to help socialize the animals. I think that these privileges given to well behaved prisoners are great. It is also an opportunity for the dogs to be adopted, which is awesome, too.
This accualy made me cry. I love to see the inmates are doing something positive and thinking that thay did indeed changing for the good. One love to you humane society thanks for the love for animals and the inmates 😢☺.
In every prison they should have dogs and cats, it's good for the inmate and for the dogs because they are loved by the inmates...... It's a very good job!!!!
Jackson Galaxy visited a prison in South Carolina where they had dogs in one wing and cats in another wing of the prison. All being cared for by the inmates. Just watched it on RUclips, very good program. Should be duplicated nationwide.
have to say this tore me a little seeing all these sweet babies. I am so glad they are able to be adopted out. I hope they all find good loving homes and the ones that were in the pins outside I really hope they get to come in when it rains. Cause it looked like there was no cover for them to get out of the rain. Sure was a lot of cute dogs and those kittens were SO SO SO cute.
This is a brilliant programme and should be in every prison across the country. It's a No-Brainer - A win win situation. A Dog teaches you a lot about yourself that you weren't aware of. They teach us to think about the energy that we give out if it's positive or negative and you can't fool a Dog on that.
Every prison needs to have programs to actually enrich the lives of prisoners. Or else prison will just make them harder. Most likely these guys never learned responsibility or care for other beings.
I've heard of this program. I think it gives the inmates as much as they give these animals. The inmates get unconditional love which they probably didn't get in their lives as well! It makes my heart sing for everyone who is involved with this program. God Bless you all!
My favourite part of this is seeing grown men in positions of authority doing their baby voices to the animals and modeling a behaviour to the inmates that they can emulate without feeling embarrassed.
Every prison and jail should have a program like this because it benefits all of us. The recidivism rate is always lower when these types of programs are in place. I'm sure it must be less expensive than re-housing re-offenders. Maybe it's a case of "More than my jobs worth"
The inmates who have a history of violence can be problematic. But non violent offenders really can have enormous benefits, helping a dog, and giving back to the community.
I worked in a lvl2 and we had 2 Different dog rehab units, 1 housing unit was for shelter dogs and another was for Greyhounds, I was lucky to work in both those units, the inmates would stop at the office to bring their dog in to see me before going outdoors in the morning, and I love dogs... These programs are very good programs for these shelter dogs, so glad to see so that many prisons participate... The dogs and the inmates need this...
Wow, what a neat idea! Those animals need people to care for them, and if it helps anyone who is locked away, I think it helps everyone. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to send an inmate off with an animal when they get released, so they continue to have something to care for and work towards, and it also helps empty the shelters a bit. Might help lower the number of repeat offenders as they have the responsibility of an animal to care for. If the animals grow on them and they love animals and want to help out, I'm sure there could be something arranged. Maybe offer them a paid position to help with the animals so they can support themselves, their animal, and the animals in the shelter, and offer it through the government / police district so they can get help and support to stay out of trouble instead of end up back in jail. Could help the overcrowding issue as well.
It is just a wonderfull idea to help abandonned animals and humans who have made wrong things... these humans can find another look for lifes and there lifes and it will get them a chance to find a better way of their lifes, and they will hep abandonned animals to find a good family.. Just why this programm is not in my country, France, I just don't understand...
This is the best thing to happen to American prisons, which are generally awful. Imagine if these men had this type of love early in life. Even the guy who admitted he didn't give a shit before, but now he has something to live for. This is heartwarming 💖
I've seen other programs like this, except there every inmate is assigned a dog who also lives with them. Mostly pitbulls, since the shelters are full of them. (The few small dogs that come in are gone within days!) And besides the pitbull stigma, a lot of them have never been taught "manners." They're sweet dogs (or they're not "adoptable"). But man have a lot of them not learned to walk on a leash... You gotta have strong arms so they don't pull you along like a rag doll, haha! So these inmates train them so they're easier to handle (it's belated puppy school really!). Or if a dog is shy they'll socialize them, work on building their confidence. (Imagine the inmate who gets that dog; won't he or she learn to have patience with another being, to have empathy-amazing for that to happen in prison... Talk about rehabilitation.) And they even teach them little tricks, because hello is that something that can close the deal for that doggie! I wonder how many inmates drop out of this program. Probably some 0.0001%.
This made me so happy to know they have companions who they can show love to! Only thing is that I WISH they had a chance at keeping the dogs.. imagine how wonderful it would be for these men! A ( life long ) companion would be the ultimate goal 💕🙏 I have heard of inmates being able too have cats in a few prisons & it's working beautifully!
"I haven't never put my two cents in before but I will put my two cents in for this shelter" Awesome.
Yeah, that's a hardhitter right there.
This is absolutely a great idea. This needs to be put in place all over the country.
Hi bubblinborwnsugar616! Thanks for watching the video!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Beautiful program! A second chance for both the inmate and dog.
One step forward to a new prison system. Sorry to say but America's prison system is very outdated. It shouldn't be focussed on punishment, but on rehabilitation. Helping convicts with picking up a normal life.

yeah, that a fair investment.... even the prisoner or their family choose to adopt one of the pets that they bonded with in prison after they release
W B The worst people deserve a punishment.
We have a program at the Humane Society in my county called the Ridge program :)
We send dogs that are difficult to adopt out due to behavioral problems to the prison to work with inmates. They teach the dogs basic obedience and manners and really make a difference :)

What state is this and do you have a website I can see? I'm doing a research project for my English class and I want to do something that is great rehabilitation for the US inmate population.
+wh3nderson95 it's in Louisiana and I'm pretty sure the site is just the humane society of the United States
ivegottaluvlikewoe are there a lot of pits/terriers? Some inmates with experience in pit bulls would be their own chance... I wish we had programs in Texas that weren't only punishment based
ivegottaluvlikewoe Wonderful story. Animals are magic and everybody deserves another chance in life.
Taking care of animals is a great step towards rehabilitation, one of these in every prison!
Yes,the dogs are great at taking care of animals:)
Been there,done that,not going back. I want to start a shelter but it takes money and hard work,and passion for it. Got everything but the money,maybe soon.

The best idea ever helping dogs and broken men learn love and compassion
This program is a WIN WIN for the dogs and inmates. A lot of people are there because of ONE BAD DECISION!!! Most deserve a chance
What a great program. This actually helps in rehabilitating prisoners and not just punishing them. They may come out better people as a result. The animals get a second chance and this will help so many homeless animals. So many inmates have abuse backgrounds and have never known love.

There's nothing like a furry cuddle to soothe your heart, and calm your nerves.
I just love this, I wish every prison could have a program like this. There may not be any more stray pets!
From Spain..THE HUMAN SOCIETY OF STATES UNITED.. ADMIRABLE.. AMAZING,VERY NECCESARY FOR THE WORLD.THANKS
This is amazing! The inmates and the dogs are vulnerable and yet they grow and get stronger together. Beautiful.
SUCH a great idea! Another place for shelter animals to go when many shelters are already full, a purposeful task for inmates while both give and get attention and affection. Win-win situation.
Wonderful! Every prison should have one. Great for all involved.
i hope with all my heart that this program produces tangible results and that this kind of program becomes the norm, beautiful video, that black guy at the end brought a tear to my eye, i hope hes on the road to recovery.
Love this idea. It helps alleviate two huge societal problems.
This video is so awesome. It makes me cry with tears of joy. It never ceases to amaze me how animals after being so neglected and abused can still have so much love to give.

This is a beautiful program. The dogs get their rehab and the prisoners get theirs. There's no better rehabilitation counselor than an animal :-)
my dad is a C.O and this made him cry because hes never seen anything like this GO INMATES!!
This is a beautiful story of healing power.
Thanks to all inmates for takings care and the love you give them will make God to forgive your sin instead give better future. be blessed
Nice idea thatll still show the inmates responsibility and love for another life
I also appreciate that they let the inmates wear normal looking cloths. Some prisons don't want the prisoners to wear normal looking clothing because they say it makes them "too confident," which I think is a pretty disgusting attitude to take towards another person, even if they may have broken the law.
As someone who has served time, it’s not disgusting at all and kind of silly for someone to say so.
You should try working as a prison guard for a day. You’re painfully naive
Actually most times they don’t want them wearing normal looking clothes because it makes it that much easier for them to escape and stuff.
This is nice for a change, very smart.(: good job America !!!
Thank you for the good work that you do with the animals and helping these men have a positive purpose in their lives!
thus is wonderful!! Animals are the therapist in the world! in a matters of a second they can teach you so much that no other human teach you in a lifetime
All they need is something or someone to love on
The ToxicBadger that's not necessarily true. The first cat I ever owned came from a prison yard where the inmates were trying to drown it AS A KITTEN in a puddle....So no, some people are just garbage.
Excellent program! I've known about it 4 some time, but grrreat seeing results...the men & animals r rehabbing one another! I DO love a WIN - WIN, baby!!! Yesss 😘😘😘
I like that the dogs can run outside if they wanted to.
Puppy+Bible+Consoling+Educational Programs= a REAL chance for these people to be rehabilitated. A lot of these guys missed one thing in their youth, LOVE. We need more love in the world if we ever want peace.

This is so sweet, and a great thing. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest programs to rehabilitate those inmates and to give them and the pets a second chance
It is truly amazing how animals impact people in various positive ways.
Great idea, and these beautiful animals and the inmates heal each other.
This is amazing. I think that more prisons need to do this. It is such a positive for everyone. A win win situation,
Everyone wins with this. Dogs are happy and prisoners too.
This is a brilliant programme and should be in every prison across the country. It's a No-Brainer - A win win situation. A Dog teaches you a lot about yourself that you weren't aware of. They teach us to think about the energy that we give out if it's positive or negative and you can't fool a Dog on that.
so beautiful it just about brought me to tears i pray there more programs like this great for the animals and people in jail or prison
Every prison needs to have programs to actually enrich the lives of prisoners. Or else prison will just make them harder. Most likely these guys never learned responsibility or care for other beings.
So many lives saved with this program.
thankyou. God bless
I've heard of this program. I think it gives the inmates as much as they give these animals. The inmates get unconditional love which they probably didn't get in their lives as well! It makes my heart sing for everyone who is involved with this program. God Bless you all!
Good for the prisoners, good for the animals .... love it.
Is it weird that this got me crying? Most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I LOVE THIS!!!! Friggin awesome.
Win win situation/program!!!
My favourite part of this is seeing grown men in positions of authority doing their baby voices to the animals and modeling a behaviour to the inmates that they can emulate without feeling embarrassed.
I love that animals can do what corrections officers cannot. I love the rehabilitation process while the punishment is necessary too.
Soo good to see this! Such a great program!
I recently adopted 2 dogs that were trained in this program. They are extremely well trained! This is a wonderful program! Please support their work.
I think this is wonderful for both so happy for them
Love these videos. Puppies, Kittens melt even the hardest of hearts.
What a great program!
Every prison and jail should have a program like this because it benefits all of us. The recidivism rate is always lower when these types of programs are in place. I'm sure it must be less expensive than re-housing re-offenders. Maybe it's a case of "More than my jobs worth"
But then the private prisons won't make any money!
Thanks to all the guys!!!!
Beautiful! Cultivating the good that's in every human being just waiting to come out.
I’ve literally never cried so hard in my life someone send help
Way to go!! Many other countries, Sweden e.g., should learn from this! Beautiful!
What a great program
this is great! gives them something positive to do!
So much good can come out of giving prisoners meaningful work and a source of unconditional love and affection.
Fantastic ! Wish every Prison was willing to do this.
dci thanks for what you do
Reciprocal relationships! A true Win/Win! Love, Love, Love!!!
The inmates who have a history of violence can be problematic. But non violent offenders really can have enormous benefits, helping a dog, and giving back to the community.

These programs are very good programs for these shelter dogs, so glad to see so that many prisons participate... The dogs and the inmates need this...
Love how the prisoners are being rehabilitated through the love of taking care of animals ❤❤❤
It gets ya right in the feels!!!
Wow, what a neat idea! Those animals need people to care for them, and if it helps anyone who is locked away, I think it helps everyone. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to send an inmate off with an animal when they get released, so they continue to have something to care for and work towards, and it also helps empty the shelters a bit.

Could help the overcrowding issue as well.
It’s beautiful to see that hard criminals and care for small helpless animals. More prisons should invest in this
At the end is it a life saving life for both. Circle of life. Love it ♥️
Everyone is worth love..
It is just a wonderfull idea to help abandonned animals and humans who have made wrong things... these humans can find another look for lifes and there lifes and it will get them a chance to find a better way of their lifes, and they will hep abandonned animals to find a good family..
Just why this programm is not in my country, France, I just don't understand...
thankyou for this please continue this and make it bigger please never put dogs to sleep
this is perfect. if anything, this is therapy for the prisoners. it opens them up to love and trust
Awesome! Such a great idea!
Animals wont judge them I guess, just love them
This is the best thing to happen to American prisons, which are generally awful. Imagine if these men had this type of love early in life. Even the guy who admitted he didn't give a shit before, but now he has something to live for. This is heartwarming 💖
How touching. I like this concept.
This is a really positive thing out of a very negative situation. Thank u
I've seen other programs like this, except there every inmate is assigned a dog who also lives with them. Mostly pitbulls, since the shelters are full of them. (The few small dogs that come in are gone within days!) And besides the pitbull stigma, a lot of them have never been taught "manners." They're sweet dogs (or they're not "adoptable"). But man have a lot of them not learned to walk on a leash... You gotta have strong arms so they don't pull you along like a rag doll, haha!
So these inmates train them so they're easier to handle (it's belated puppy school really!). Or if a dog is shy they'll socialize them, work on building their confidence. (Imagine the inmate who gets that dog; won't he or she learn to have patience with another being, to have empathy-amazing for that to happen in prison... Talk about rehabilitation.) And they even teach them little tricks, because hello is that something that can close the deal for that doggie!
I wonder how many inmates drop out of this program. Probably some 0.0001%.
very moving and beautifully documented!
This made me so happy to know they have companions who they can show love to! Only thing is that I WISH they had a chance at keeping the dogs.. imagine how wonderful it would be for these men! A ( life long ) companion would be the ultimate goal 💕🙏 I have heard of inmates being able too have cats in a few prisons & it's working beautifully!
Best thing a inmate can do for there rest of there life
This is adorable. I miss my dog since I'm away this summer.
That CO is a gem! And that says a lot on my part! The kennel attendant inmates are too!
Look at those good boys.
Awee, the animals are so cuteee! Such a great program they have :)
