Documentary spotlights inmates that form incredible bonds with abused dogs
Castaways is a documentary series chronicling the successful rehabilitation program of inmates training unwanted dogs for re-introduction or adoption, while highlighting the plight that both prisoners and dogs face and how an unlikely union brings out a change in character of both man and beast.
The results are life changing for the prisoner, dog and recipient.
Castaways documents the model for a prison partnership program of inmates training unwanted dogs for re-introduction for adoption, to assist veterans and those with disabilities and as worker dogs for law enforcement and government agencies. Value and self-worth emerge and a sense of contribution and being.
Castaways offers a look at redemption and second chances while presenting hope and opportunity.
In the video below, you'll meet a dog named Esther who was severely abused in a puppy mill before being rehabilitated through the Prison-trained K-9 Companion Program.
