I think it's great. I saw a story about something like that on animal planet. I can't remember where the prison was, but think it's a good way for the dogs to get the help they need, and maybe it helps the prisoners a lil too.

We have a program here called Lee County Cell Dogs. Here is the link. http://www.leecountycelldogs.com/ They train the dogs, and then they are adopted out to suitable homes. I watched that website for a long time.
