A Good Deed Both Ways

Puppies Behind Bars - puppiesbehindbars.com - is a program that uses prison inmates to train services dogs for the disabled. The prisoners in this video are really eloquent about the mutual benefits to human and dog. Punishment is one thing - and sometimes it's the ONLY thing that happens in the lockup. Once in awhile, some actual rehabilitation takes place that helps a convict transition to normal life. This is one such instance. Bravo.
