depends if they're a psychopath or mentally crazy from being in prison for doing many wrong choices or many mistakes.
If you give prison inmates the chance to better their education, learn life skills, and even have a healthy relationship with another living being as these inmates have with these dogs, when they leave prison they will not be filled with hatred for the society that incarcerated them. They might just realize that their former behaviors are to blame, and choose to embark on a positive path. The object of imprisonment should be rehabilitation, not punishment. This is why for-profit privately-owned prisons are doomed to failure, and why they are NOT a money-saving venture. The purpose of a for-profit Prison is PROFIT, not rehabilitation.

Darren Nicholls Totally agree. When Canada switched to a rehabilitation based program from a punitive system, I - like many others I thought it was nuts, a "liberal" idea gone mad, but the results don't lie, and our rate of recidivism has dropped quite a bit since then, and the number of former criminals who have not only re-entered society, but have become *contributing* members of our society has risen yearly. The "prison-industrial" system in the States meanwhile, is just the latest iteration of slavery, get young blacks and latinos right from schools, and never let them go. The scary part is that nobody (in power) ever seems to realize what's happening to the prisoners in the for-profit system - they don't even finish their sentences before they're charged with something else (often trumped up charges involving disputes with guards (and yes, the "trumped up" thing was deliberate ) 😂), meaning that they have no hope of ever regaining their freedom. When people have nothing to lose, the results can be messy. I wish my neighbours would fix America, as I used to like them - they were a little over-bearing, kinda crazy (in an endearing way), and a little bombastic, but they were friendly, generous to a fault, and truly believed that their country was about freedom. Sad. Bigly.

Darren Nicholls, this is the one sector where other countries should look to Norway. But it's not a perfect system, we struggle with professional thieves from eastern Europe that see our system as a opportunity to earn some quick money without risking a long sentence. Another aspect is that in the short run it cost a lot of money, that means that US need to raise their taxes. I highly doubt this will be accepted after observing how much trouble Obama had when he tried to introduce Obamacare. A third aspect is that revenge is not a part of our culture. As a Norwegian I think that people that do bad things should go jail but when they have finished their sentence or when a couple of psychologists say that an inmate is rehabilitated he should be free to go on with his life. I think it's to easy to say that Norway have the perfect prison system. Who knows how things might have looked if we had the same amount of poor people as the US? When people feel that they have no hope, that the government is working against them, not helping crimes might seems like the only solution to live a half decent life.

Morten Ringdalen so you live in Norway? How do you like living there? I am genuinely curious, I know that Canada has a program that helps youths develop a positive relationship with the police, I don't know if they still do this or not but when a police officer sees a young person doing something good like looking both ways before crossing the street they give them a special type of ticket that it is a good thing if you receive one as it shows you are doing the right thing. One of my teachers likes to play video for the whole class that can teach us things about others or just videos that are enjoyable to watch.
Every prison needs this program. less dogs being euthanized and these men get to do something positive in a negative situation which is awesome

On top of that, giving a man responsibility is giving a man purpose in life. It seems that a lot of men become trouble-makers because they don't have a purpose, and this is one way to help fix some of that.

Kudos to the lady who thought of that! That is true rehabilitation, the whole point of jail
Everyone benefits from this program and there should be more like it. The dog after being trained has a forever home and the man who taught him knows HE gave the dog a second chance at a good life. He can continue to make a difference in the world after his release. We all need a reason to turn our lives around.

This is beyond true
Pitbulls are perfect dogs for such a program. They love to be touched and they are expressive, so they give the inmates what they lack. I've always had pits, so I know how they can reach inside your soul and heal what's hurting you. Because they've been dumped in shelters, they understand rejection; if you're unwanted by your family or society, a pit will take you into his heart. Just watching the reaction of the inmates to the dogs says it all.

I don't think they're perfect for this because they'd be better than other dogs, that pitbulls unlike other dogs love to be touched or are expressive or have the capability to reach inside your soul and heal you, all dogs do that. What makes it perfect to me is that pitbulls indeed get rejected, very often end up in a shelter just to be euthanized because they look scary and have a bad reputation. To give them a second chance like this is sooo much better than giving the cute little ones that are much more likely to get adopted.

I love stories like this. Both inmates and the dogs get something they both desperately need unconditional love and a sense of being needed is so important.
God Bless Them Both. May They Both Have Happiness
Pitbulls are really loyal and generous ❤. I had so much fun with mine yesterday, we were out in my Ferrari and picked up some chicks, we even went to the dog park, but the saddest part was that I woke up and realised it was just a dream . Rip

DOGS HEAL PEOPLE PERIOD
If the crime they were arrested, sentenced, and jailed for wasn’t severe, they do need a second chance. And also something that would actually motivate them to better their lives, like saving shelter pets. Precious babies!
What a lovely positive impact for those men and dogs.
This program should be a mandatory one in all prisons across america! Your saving both human & animal when their at their lowest points. I hope the inmate was able to reunite with the doggy he trained and saved. Hope they both are thriving in their forever homes 💕
What a beautiful idea. I can see a huge happiness in the faces.
I couldn’t AGREE more. There should be MORE programs like this. Both souls need each other. I’d happily pay a tax to support these programs.
Bless people who actually give living things second chances, everyone deserves a second chance
Dogs from a Animal-Shelter always the best ! I had 3 Dogs from a Shelter and she spend a lot of love
Beautiful. Two souls, incredibly misunderstood, that found each other only to get a second chance.
I think this a excellent idea! I bet it keeps the prisoners more calm!!!

Paula there is one entire family down in New Orleans who rescues Pits and all breeds who are in desperate need. She has people who are on parole work with her . The T.V. show is called Pit Bulls and Parolees. Her name is Tia and her two sons and two daughters share this life long love for people and dogs.
One’s ability of being able to experience happiness and love through an animal is truly magical to me
Best idea ever for inmates and dogs giving each other love and therapy for both this program should be in every penententary all over the USA God bless this program 🙏🙏
All humans, animals ect.. have hearts, even people that might have caused a crime.
this is actually NEXT LEVEL SMART MOVE by owners of jail...man and dog are best friends and thats what people there need most
i used to overlook or be afraid of animals most of my life despite my grand parents had a farm. In 2011 a cat was on my porch and I gave her some bread that she rejected. I learned better and she came daily as my husband and I fed her daily and enjoyed her stays. That one cat taught me to love, care and respect animals. Here it is 2021 and I ended up caring for over 50 cats and their kittens.
sometimes people just need to know what it is to be loved unconditionally, and the doggies do too. Wonderful how both lives were improved and changed!
It doesn't matter where you are, a dog will always make life so much better. There's nothing like their unconditional love.
This is an excellent example of how everyone can change given the right motivation
The definition of "sometimes good people do bad things".
❤️everybody deserves a second chance❤️
I don’t know which is cuter, The way the dogs act or The way the people act
These programs really need to get more traction in the prison systems. Getting my first dog in college taught me a lot about responsibility and empathy for something other than myself. Great tools to take with you outside of the penal system.
Caring for a soul makes you much more gentle. Cant believe all prisons dont do this
This is such a good program for both pit bulls, who people think are always for dog fighting and for those prisoners who help them. It’s a totally beautiful love exchange.
Lovely story..."men best friend " indeed. Dogs dont judge, they just love!!!!
Look at those smiles, that’s what life is all about
this is a program that should be in every single prison in this country, how awesome. I hope wonderful things for these prisoners!

Witness the true power of maximum doggo
So glad that these criminals that have robbed or who have beaten other people are given an opportunity to enjoy a friendly companion. It just warms my heart that they can wake up an enjoy the company of such great animals while their victims have to live with the scars the rest of their lives.
Unconditional faithful love for a man has four paws and a tail I rescued mine when now one would take him ,he is the love of my life just makes me so happy
*Inmates and dogs are saved!* *Hallelujah!*
A shame we aren't so kind to each other...
This is probably the only channel that can make me smile so much. Don't ever stop making videos because I watch these when ever I want a dog and it makes me want to help/save one and now that I have a job I will.
good thing that they are doing something like this for people in such a bad place RESPECT
The best rehab therapy for all parties! Love and caring make a difference.
I think this is one of the best programs I’ve ever seen. It provides a purpose for both the inmates and the dogs. This is just great.
This is beautiful and wonderful I wish every jail did this
programs like these wouldn't cost money. this is perfect
Really does prove that dog is mans best best best loyal friend
I think that when these dogs are paired with the person, a very special bond is formed because it might be the first time both of them are shown love and affection.
LOVE changes everything ..... May God bless them all 😇

lukas wildau The majority of people in jail in the US are there for non-violent drug charges, which are completely unfair & counterproductive for progress in society. Until drugs are legalized & regulated, it's unsafe for everyone & these jail sentences/charges ruin more lives than the drugs themselves may. Your comment is not only extremely naive, but heartless. Jail is supposed to rehabilitate, for everyone's good. Furthermore, the US has actually made a monetary incentive to create criminals out of thin air(by criminalizing drugs) & stock holders literally profit off of these people's misery. That is downright immoral & disgusting. Everything was fine before they criminalized drugs in the US. There was no reason to do so, except to keep lower classes down(one of Nixon's admins actually admitted this recently & we have the records to back it up - they made drugs illegal to be able to target & jail leftists/"hippies" & African Americans, politically). Regulation was enough before & it's sufficient now. Overdosing also plummets when they're decriminalized, just see Portugal's stats. Please don't make such blanket statements in the future.
Pitbulls & Prisoners is a wonderful program and I love Tia Torres for showing the truth about pitbulls.
EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO LIVE THIS GIFT OF LIFE THE RIGHT WAY
Great warden, creative thinking+ rehabilitations all around! Thats wonderful.
It is such an awesome program. Especially when that woman said that these guys can express emotions they otherwise can’t. Brilliant! These guys can’t be emotional around each other. These dogs give these guys back compassion and responsibility that prison usually robs them of.
This is awesome helping each other.
I'm glad they didn't treat the prisoners with more hostility but instead of friendliness and kindness and their trying to change their life for the better and I'm glad the dogs and the people there are helping each other out 😃😊
And you wonder why animals are a blessing they are angels
Such a good idea. Both need healing, and they're healing each other
*Best program in the world for inmates and shelter dogs!*
Honestly dogs are the best therapist
This is a very smart idea and it makes the inmates happy in a time of stress anger violence sadness and loneliness
Finally get to see the positive emotions from these guys and to embrace loyal & loving dogs that do not judge ! It's a win - win for both !
Wow....it's so great to see pit bulls have a positive reputation.....they really r loveable and friendly breeds
Every living things deserve a second chance at life, this video prove it
God bless these dogs and prisoners 🙏🙏🙏🙏
it was short but man it made me tear up a bit. Something as simple as contact from an animal can change so many dynamics in this situation, for the better.
Always protect animals!
I think that's an excellent program. Most of these prison inmates have been failed their whole lives by the people who were supposed to love and care for them, but with a dog, they can now experience unconditional love. What better way than with a dog that has been rescued off the E list. It's a win/win situation.
I think this is an AWESOME idea. Give these dogs a second chance and also reminds inmates of compassion and the love of a first pet they may have had as a kid. All around good for everyone
This is reform that really works. Hearts have to change before behavior can. Love makes the heart pure. Let's have more of these programs. The cost is well-spent.
What a beautiful program! I wish there were more like it, that's the whole point of jails, to rehabilitate
I think this is the best rehab program for inmates i have ever seen. Maybe some of them feel love for the first time and maybe some of the dogs feel it too for the first time.
Keep this program going. It benefits everyone. You can’t deny facts
Best program on the planet. Happy that both get a second chance at life.
This is such a touching moment.....So happy that they changed each others lives for good....
That is the sweetest and smartest thing I've ever seen
ive never in my life seen something like this about these programs in jail..this is truly amazing
That's awesome. Both changed each other's lifes.
Shout to the warden for making it all possible.
Inmates are people too! I was gonna say something negative but these smiling dogs make me to happy
Damn for some reason this got me kind of teary eyed
Everybody. Deserves a second chance
Bloody good idea for both inmates of different prisons ;)
They need programs like this in every jail across the world
Anyone can change and learn from their mistakes and dogs help to prove that's right!
These programs are so beneficial to the men, the animals and the families who eventually adopt these pets, that I cannot understand why there isn't one in every single prison. Everyone has the right to love and be loved.
