This canine will be trained by two inmates in accordance with the TAILS program pilot. The cost of the program will be covered with inmate welfare funds (estimated $50 a month). Mr. Sherman questioned the reasoning behind the motion. Warden said there is documentation proving it reduces recidivism. Sheriff questioned if $50 was enough and mentioned he knows it to be a positive program, saying it serves as a sort of therapy dog. Mr. Maggi said the program is being used throughout the state. Mr. Sherman entertained a motion to accept the Warden's report as presented, tabling the TAIL program item. Mr. Walsh made the motion, and Mr. Maggi seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously carried with the Board signifying their approval by stating "Aye." BOARD DISCUSSION None.
