Prisoners Train Service Dogs for Wounded Veterans


Prisoners at the Maryland Correctional Institution are putting their hard time to good use - training service dogs for wounded veterans. The Baltimore Sun says 24 Labrador Retrievers call the prison home for one year - where they live with inmates and work with trainers to learn 30 commands. Prison officials say inmates make the best trainers, since they have something most people don’t: unlimited time.
