Brooksville, Florida — Hernando Co. Jail is housing more than inmates these days. Since May 8, greyhounds moved in with 50 female inmates. The pilot program called 2nd Chance at Life has already been tried in prisons in other states, but this is the first in the county at a county jail. During a 12-week training session, inmates share their cells and care for the dogs 24/7, while socializing and preparing them for their new adoption homes.

Wish I could see more of these programs in other jails and prisons. Probably could also help troubled teens, old folks homes, and rehabilitation centers. Would be a great use of all our tax money.

Wonderful idea, great oportunity for more greyhounds to be homed. Thank you for this great service to these precious greys.

I wish programs like this would grow by leaps and bounds so no animals are euthanized because they do not have homes. These programs are a WIN WIN for animal, inmate,guards, society and for the world.

How can i work for a womens prison?!

What a great idea, letting the inmates work with the rescued greyhounds! My son has two greyhounds and I’m so impressed by their genuine, expressive, cooperative, and friendly dispositions. A perfect win-win for rescued dogs, for the caregivers, and for the people who adopt.

i think its a great idea!ther should be more programs like that for inmates GODBLESS THEM..

Awesome idea! Adopting 2 greyhounds myself, my hat goes off to the instagator of this fine idea and the respective prison system stepping up to employ such a program. Appears to be a win – win situation for both transitioning women and the “womans” best friend!!
