A Prison In Indiana Welcomes Shelter Cats Who Give Prisoners The Opportunity To Change
2024/02/24 Report

Cats have a natural ability to provide therapeutic benefits, helping to reduce anxiety and depression for their owners. However, at a prison in Indiana, cats are also transforming the lives of inmates through a unique program. The Animal Protection League and the state of Indiana partnered to create a program at the Pendleton Correctional Facility where cats receive behavior modification and trust-building training to prepare them for adoption.

The program has had a profound impact on the inmates, teaching them responsibility, non-violent problem-solving, and giving them the opportunity to experience unconditional love from a pet. Many inmates have expressed that caring for an animal has allowed them to open up and show love, something they may have never experienced before.

Despite initial concerns from the public, the success of the program has been evident. Inmates participating in the program have shown positive changes in their behavior and mindset.

The documentary "Death Row" shed light on the program, sparking a conversation about whether inmates should be allowed to interact with cats. Some felt that individuals convicted of serious crimes should not have the privilege of caring for pets. However, the program has proven to be a valuable rehabilitation tool, showing that cats have the power to bring transformation and healing even in unexpected places like a prison.
