North Carolina Women's Prison Not Good Enough for Dogs

"New Leash on Life" was a program in North Carolina prisons that let inmates train dogs from local animal shelters until it was disbanded about three years ago. Recently it has come to light that the dogs were removed from the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women (NCCIW) during summer months because conditions at the prison were unsuitable for dogs. That is because lack of air conditioning made the prison so hot that animal rescue group running the program were afraid the dogs might overheat and die. The animal rescue group expressed disgust for how the women still had to live in conditions that for dogs were analogous to being locked in a car on a hot day.#ncciw #dogs #airconditioning
