Selected offenders at some prisons in the USA are being given the opportunity to care for dogs from rescue centres.
The initiative, 'Puppies for Parole' places rescue dogs, some of whom have disabilities or behavioural problems, in prisons, under the care of inmates. The inmates, with professional guidance, are responsible for exercising, feeding, training and socialising to help prepare the dog for adoption. When the dogs have completed the programme, they are either sent back to the rescue centres for re-homing or re-homed directly.
