Puppies Behind Bars A program of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility 99 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10016 http://www.puppiesbehindbars.com/main.html Puppies Behind Bars is a program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, New York State's only maximum-security prison for women. The inmates raise puppies to be guide dogs for the blind. Keica W., an inmate at the Bedford Hills Correctional facility, wrote the following about the Puppies Behind Bars program: "...The purpose of training these animals fulfills a desire to do something good because inmates usually have so many bad feelings about themselves. With the participation in this program, some of those feelings have a chance to change. Sometimes an inmate may feel a need to right a particular wrong she may have committed. This program gives her some power at correction psychologically."   Search this site     Powered by FreeFind   Practitioners - individuals and groups that practice AAA-AAT within their local communities Evaluators - individuals who are credentialed by a national organization to certify AAA-AAT teams Facilities - caregiving places where AAA-AAT occurs National Organizations - groups that offer training and certification to individuals and pets, and who connect individuals and clubs to each other Accredited Courses - university level courses in Animal Assisted Therapy and the animal-human bond Other categories will be created as needed.             Home • Jackie's List • Therapy Pets: The Book • Contact Jackie How Do My Pet and I Become a Therapy Pet Team?     Therapy Pets • P.
