Prison Dogs: Hope Behind Bars by Patricia Kelley

Welcome.
This is prison dog central---where you'll find up-to-date information on the book project and a lot of additional information, stories and background on the prison dog programs themselves. This includes the people, the dogs, and the controversy. I'll be blogging about all of this and more.

These Programs Are Changing Lives...

and offering hope to humans and canines alike. You'll read about controversial inmates and the appeals to free them. You'll read about profound change where people experienced unconditional love for the first time---and where "throwaway" dogs are redeemed and adopted into new and wonderful lives!

Thank you for stopping by---and please join in the conversation. Post your comments and sign up for updates and more. If you know of someone who has received a prison dog-or an inmate who was or is in a program-talk about it!
