@saint: prison in Indiana accepts shelter cats and lets prisoners take care of them. the program quickly proved to be beneficial for both the adorable cats and inmates: these felines lack trust in people and have a lower chance of being adopted. What they need is patient and loving care before they can find a forever home, and this trust gaining program provides it to them. however, cats are not the only ones who benefit from the program. Inmates get a wonderful opportunity to learn how to care for and take responsibility for a living creature.
