There are a few prisons that do have these kind of programs for the prisoners (after a thorough background check) where they can have dogs or cats, I remember watching my cat from hell and them having a segment where the host Jackson Galaxy visited a prison with this program and everyone looked to be having a great time, the cats had all the space, love and attention they needed, the prisoners quickly learned to behave so they could keep their new friends. I even once heard of a story where one prisoner got beaten pretty badly for spitting at another's cat

Well, I think it was heavily implied to only be for offenders that didn’t commit serious crimes. Obviously, a rapist or serial killer wouldn’t be allowed to do this.

That is truly amazing to see! Inmates are still people. Not everyone in jail or prison is a bad person. Glad there are programs to benefit inmates and veterans ☺

Who is chosen is 100% dependent on what their charges/convictions are & how good or bad their past & present behavior has been while incarcerated. They don’t let just any inmate who wants to be in the program be in the program.

I know. There is no downside to this program. It's a win-win all around. Pound dogs become adoptable, and the inmates get a purpose, acquire a skill. So the incarceration isn't just punishment, but an actual program towards _rehabilitation._

@LittleFatFeet68

grytlappar 100% agree with you. The only downside might be that the inmates must miss the dogs terribly after they go off to their new jobs. I know new dogs come in and the training starts all over again but they still have to miss all the love, companionship and the sheer joy each dog has brought them. I foster dogs and even though I am helping turn their lives around and they eventually leave to have a wonderful life with their adoptive families, I miss every single one that I have had the pleasure of loving and supporting. This is a such a great uplifting story of people helping animals that sadly could have been euthanized. Special thanks to these inmates for all the work they do👍

@Hypatia4242

+Patty Lanenga You're right, the inmates must miss the dogs terribly. However, I watched a documentary about these inmate programs and the criminologist lady they interviewed said it can be helpful, because it allows the prisoners to express emotions (joy, affection, loss, tears) that normally are taboo in prison. There is a kind of catharsis to be able to meet a dog, be playful, happy, then have an 'excuse' to be sad or tearful. While the pain is real, maybe it helps some of the men and women heal from other pain too.

This is a great program. For the first time these men in prison is giving them a sense of woth. Rescue dogs get a second chance and PTSD sufferers get a loving companion to help them through difficult times. For once everyone benefits.

I think any dog in prison program is fantastic! the inmates are not only giving back to society with training dogs, for many it is the first time in their lives that they have experienced unconditional love! Through nurturing a dog, an inmate experiences first hand the simple cause & effect of gentle voice & hands results in desired behavior. it's a win/win all around & I wish it was available to all inmates everywhere!

Name a program taking contributions

"A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad." - Robert Wagner

Congrats to BOTH the dogs and the inmates! It takes a certain and special type of person to help guide the dogs thru their training!

It's pretty great how dogs can help with resocialization. There are so many lonely dogs in shelters, they could help inmates and in return they would gain a companion.

Helping to heal psychologically. The best rehabilitation program I've seen, for inmates.

Thank you Inmates and future dog trainers. Many veterans have PTSD and are unable to get a service dog. Thank you, gentleman!

Dogs are so happy to "serve", it gives them fulfillment and they only want affection for a reward. They just take to service like it was a duty they were meant to perform, and the trust, companionship and love they give back can mean so much. Adults, children, people with special needs, the elderly, there are so many people dogs are wonderful "assistants"/friends to! A joyous welcome home bark & kisses are better than a drug, and less judgemental than a human. 💕

This is a brilliant system. I applaud whoever thought of this.

I think this is great...giving the animals a chance at a life....and helping people

At first, I was skeptical and even a bit afraid of the idea of pairing dogs with inmates: I had this "Prison Break/Breaking Bad" idea that bad people would train these dogs in preparation for a break out. But, watching the video and seeing how inmates were smiling as they were greatful for a second chance and a renewed sense of purpose, I'm glad I was proven wrong. This is *exactly* the kind of rehabilitation that the prison system needs. Thank you, Dodo!

This Has to be one of the best programs that any prison official has ever come up with, aside from school! dogs and people do so much for each other.... it’s so good to see neither being thrown away!!

That is one hell of a happy prison

What a great program! Dogs can help PTSD so much. Mine can tell the difference between regular upset and a PTSD meltdown. If it's regular upset, he will lean his 110lbs on me like a giant furry weighted blanket. But if it's PTSD, which temporarily yanks your brain back into the trauma, he will get very intrusive and even whack me with his nose or paws until I come back to the present moment. Then he comforts me until I am okay again. He wasn't formally trained and is a rescue, but he is Kangal/Anatolian Shepherd, a Livestock Guardian breed that often teaches themselves tasks.

It's the best idea ever !!😍😍 they both getting mutual benefit🖒🖒 appreciate the person who brings this gold plan

This is just incredible!! Love this channel

dogs are the guardians of being. true Angels on earth !! anyone who never loved a dog and share a life with them have no clue about what is real unconditional love.

Wonderful, helps everyone concerned. The dog looks so happy.

Oh God. I’m in tears. The love that animals have for their humans is unconditional

Wonderful. Dogs are amazing and beautiful they are heaven 💗 sent bless them and everyone. Thank you to all the trainer's and those who care for these souls.

It's so sweet to have a dog around to help you find stuff

I think it's amazing that they do this. It's beneficial to everyone involved. I can only imagine though how hard it must be for the inmates when those dogs leave. I'm sure some of them really bonded with the dogs they trained.

The wonder of dogs,I think this is a great idea for these prisoners regardless of what they're serving time for,these dogs can only make them better people,I think they should have a programme like this for jailed dog fighters,it could help to stop some of it.

Beautiful story! These dogs help so many people. Should make people who obtain false documents saying their dogs are service animals ashamed of themselves.

So many dogs in shelters are so sad, so many people in prisons are so sad. Put them together and they become besties.

Doggos are so kind

Just look at those smiling faces 👌👍

That is a 2 fold! Training the dog to help a Veteran, an the inmate feeling good about themselves; an hopeful to make it, outside of the prison system.

this is so wonderful for all involved

brings tears of happiness to my eyes

Too much. I absolutely admire this project. I wwork with homeless and I find this kind of projects should be more extended. Not only in prisons but in many other rehabilitating and reinsertation projectds....Bravo!!!

I wonder if SUCH EFFORTS are being made to put smiles on the faces of the familes of these inmate's victims and relieve THEM of the stress they've endured caused by these same inmates...

This program is a win win for everyone!!! Talk about making a difference in the lives of all involved 🐾🐾🐶🙏❣

I sincerely hope someone will adopt them after they retire. The dogs also deserve to be happy

This is a great program!

Truly the goodest boy

This truly amazing, for both dogs & inmates... This will keep inmates mentally healthy, giving them opportunity For a successful re-entry to society while serving others.

Im happy even they did something wrong they still need love

Saving lives is a wonderful thing!

Great idea for both parties 😄

Love the big smiles...

I believe that teaching people to care for and about an animal, which is completely dependent upon them, that they must become attuned to the feelings of, in order to successfully train that animal, helps give lessons in living as well as comfort to broken souls.

Wow!!! Amazing!!!😍😍😍😍

A win-win program, helping both humans and dogs.

Good people and good doggy angels they are !

Thank you for your videos. I believe that animals are rescuers of our souls beyond our bodies 💖

Even if their in prison their should have someone to comfort them and love

The dogs dont care what they've done. And I think that's why they can be so beneficial in inmate's recoveries.

Not only is this helping the dogs and veterans its helping the inmates as well.

The perfect video! It is inspiring, uplifting, and leaves one happy after having watched it. I know that having an animal in one's life increases the happiness factor and the quality of life that a person house. I'm sure that these inmates will all agree 100% the being able to have a dog in their lives and assistant training it to be a service dog is a rewarding endeavor. Not only in this life, but in the life to come-in eternity!

as always dodo your videos bring hope for many that things will get better

They've been doing programs like these for years now, but not in every prison. One program pairs inmates with difficult dogs, so they can be adoptable. The dogs, not the inmates.

It's nice to see those inmates smiling. And that applause for the dog was so heartwarming.

Beautiful

There's a sheriff in Georgia who initiated this program. They have helped so many dogs get a home, and have helped with rehabilitation of inmates. A few of the inmates, after being released, got jobs in the veterinarian field. So these types of programs, there are so many amazing and great outcomes.

We all deserve a second chance. We all have regrets and feelings. We all feel love and passion. I think all inmates deserve this kind of treatment, unless the dogs are not safe around them, because that would only make things worse. There was footage of a police officer getting strangled by an escaped inmate, from a security camera. The policeman was particularly nice to the other inmates, so instead of helping kill him, the other inmates rushed in to save him, and pulled the escaped inmate off the policeman. Love can go a long way!

Such a brilliant idea!

Wonderful program. Powerful tool for prison leadership influence and motivator for an inmate.

I love this program thanks for showing video dodo

Wonderful program/ Good for the inmates and good for the dogs. Happy to see this.

The smiles on the inmates at 34-35 sec.....priceless 💜

as long as their charge wasn't bestiality, this is an amazing way to help inmates learn a new skill and learn responsibility for another.
