I appreciated reading this — had not heard of Troy and so enjoyed reading about the joy a stray cat brought to so many there. I'm all for therapy animals in prison. Everyone wins.
I get very frustrated when faced with comments such as 'don't kill anyone and you won't go to prison'. That may well be true but not necessarily. So many people are in the prison system in the US who are innocent. Kind and giving students and attorneys prove it all the time. But even viewing the statement assuming we are referring only to those guilty of the crime leaves so many salient facts out of the discussion. I can't address all of those here so I will simply pose a question. Would you want to be known and judged in the world by only your worst act?

In this case, they are training the animals for individuals with disabilities in the outside. It's a beautiful program with so much utility. 🖤

Thank you for sharing beauty and connection from within the prison walls. And for the good work you do for your son and others who are incarcerated!
