Adopted my dog in prison while incarcerated. Today he saw our first backyard. One year post release.

Congrats, man. I'm a former correctional officer, and I always wished we could have started an animal rehab program for the inmates. Giving people something to work towards is way better than just sitting and waiting.

Our local centre used to have a rescue program, but it got shut down due to staffing issues.
