[nagdu] Guide Dogs and Jail

[Cathryn Bonnette]

BTW Inmates are also allowed to train wild mustangs to prevent destroying
them, and to domesticate them for riding. The program has been quite
successful in western states. It serves as an incentive to prisoners, and it
involves them in caring for something besides themselves while giving back
to the community. This has more risk than permitting a visitor with a
trained guide in harness to visit a prison, doesn't it?

Hello everyone,

    Let me also remind you that some incarcerated inmates have kept and 
trained dogs for various organizations including guide dog programs. If 
these inmates are allowed to care for these animals while behind bars 
someone visiting an inmate accompanied by a guide dog shouldn't even be an 
issue.

"Will you come and awake our lost land from its slumber
      And her fetters we'll break, links that long are encumbered.
      And the air will resound with hosannas to greet you
      On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to greet you."
Will You Come to the Bower
