PRISON DOGS: HOPE BEHIND BARS is an exclusive and compelling book project about the transformational prison dog programs that are changing lives and offering the most positive and hopeful rehabilitation programs ever developed in the American penal system-and now proliferating around the world.

While there are currently no American published books on the dog rehabilitation programs, dozens of television programs and one full-length movie (Within These Walls, Lifetime Television about the original founder, Sister Pauline Quinn, and her first program.) have been produced, not to mention innumerable feature articles. The interest in and importance of these prison dog programs have established a ready and eager market for this exclusive book.

National and International television programs and stations include BBC World News, Fox Television, USA Network, ABC, NBC, CBS and Animal Planet.. The AKC Gazette, The New York Times, Good House Keeping, The New York Post, The New York Daily News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Christian Science Monitor, Star-Ledger, The National Enquirer, The Philanthropy Chronicle, Readers Digest and The Bark, called the “New Yorker” of dog magazines are amongst the myriad of regional and national newspapers and magazines that have featured articles on these paradigm shattering rehabilitation programs.

PRISON DOGS: HOPE BEHIND BARS, is a seminal documentation of a dog’s most important gift to the best and the worst of us-unconditional love. This is the first book to give real voices to the power of these programs via the prisoners themselves, the prison staff, government officials and the recipients of the dogs. From murderers to drug dealers—their stories will evoke emotions, questions and of course, controversy.

The book is in development now-and has literary representation.
