_ethe impact of a prison animal training program
_fDebra Mims, Rhondda Waddell, Jessie Holton
330 _aThe Paws and Stripes College program has a positive impact on inmate increased knowledge and skills in animal training leading them to better communication, conflict resolution, and interpersonal behaviors which are believed to enhance future employability, self-confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, the inmates were impressed with the enhanced adoptability of the shelter canines that completed the training, and their service to the community. Correctional facilities may want to consider recommending an inmate and canine training program as a viable intervention for improving inmates’ behavior and emotional states during incarceration and improve chances for inmates’ successful functioning by assisting with finding meaningful employment once they are released. In addition, the homeless canines benefit by the Paws and Stripes College program by not being euthanized, finding valued homes to care for them, and the ability to provide useful service to both families and those with special needs.
