Each year millions of prisoners are put into prisons ranging from anything such as tax evasion to murder. Many more animals are put into shelters each year, yet they didn't break the law, they were just unwanted. Human instinct is to care for lesser being with animals included. What I am asking is for California State Prison to permit convicts to care for cats and/or dogs rescued from kill shelters. One day I hope that all prisons could use this model and give hope and homes to animals and convicts across the world
Multiple studies done have shown that pets decrease stress. In a prison this could mean less stabbings, rapes, murders, etc. These animals could save lives. All California State Prison has to do is save the animal's lives first...
