In many cases, inmates have said their time working in the program was life-changing and gave them purpose during a tough time in their lives.” Read entire article here: PAWS&STRIPES 2012-06-01 column vers2

Claudia,
It is a wonderful program, I totally agree. And your comment means a lot to me.
Last but not least, Sheriff Jack Parker is my nephew, and I can’t tell you how proud we are of him.
