If the program didn't exist, a lot more animals would be put down.<br />Prisoners who are exposed to pets get the same benefits as everyone else, as in lowered blood pressure, less depression, decreased aggression toward others, etc. In the end it costs the public less.<br /><br />And yes, adoption itself is expensive.

When my dog died due to natural causes (He was 15 1/2 years old), I went to an animal shelter in Cambridge, MD to get another companion. The cost after immunization, neuter was off the rocket. The paperwork was ridiculous. And, the pet that I really wanted was not available. But, I played with him fir an hour. And, I cried when I left him behind. All that money I donated to the scpa wouldn't get me a free healthy pet. But, a dam Inmate can take care of a pet while incarcerated.
