CAMERON, MO - A new prison program at the Western Missouri Corrections Center in Cameron pairs prisoners with shelter dogs, with the goal of rehabilitating both canines and inmates. The program has inmates training the dogs to make them more adoptable. Officials with the prison say that the program has been successful at the six other prisons across the state, and the prisoners, normally surrounded by barbed wire and guards, are often changed by the experience. On Tuesday, inmate Charles Johnson met his new dog, Molly. Many of the dogs, like Molly, have had a rough past, which is something that many of the inmates know well. "Molly was abandoned by the side of a road by her owner as a pup," said Johnson. "She's had to fight it out with wild dogs to eat until she was rescued by the shelter." Read More. |
