Two pups, Simba and Suki, are giving inmates a new purpose through SCI Albion’s unique prison dog training program.
The ANNA Shelter made the announcement on social media Monday.
Over eight weeks, inmates will train the dogs under guidance from ANNA staff member Lex.
Each dog is paired with two inmate handlers, who practice lessons daily and even share their cells with the dogs at night.
The program benefits both the dogs and the prison community.
Lex will provide updates, and staff say the dogs are already getting plenty of love and attention.
