Prison Pups:

They’re some of New Zealand’s worst criminals yet they’re finding unconditional love behind bars.

We go inside Auckland Women’s Correctional Facility to meet four offenders and their canine cellmates. To a victim scarred by crime, it may be difficult to feel generosity toward offenders, or to condone any programme that may make life easier. But these wonder dogs are helping hardened criminals, society and the disabled.
