Warden Fewell respectfully requested the Prison Board approve an agreement with the
Washington County Humane Society to accept one rescue canine. 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
