Paws For Prisoners

This is just one of the shots of an amazing photo essay about a program at the correctional facility in Kyle, Texas that combines unwanted dogs with prisoners in an effort to teach responsibility to the inmates and behavior to the dogs.

Not only do I want to know more about the program, but I'm also insanely jealous that the The Daily Texan found out about this before we did. Who knows, they probably had to go through a lot to get this story and those amazing pictures.

The pictures are by Erik Castro. I don't know his full affiliation with The Texan, but he has talent. Now that's photojournalism. I can only hope that The University Star can be blessed with the same talented photography this year.

This is the story - looks to be a small lead into the photo essay.

The photo essay is on the same page halfway down.

Congrats to The Texan for this fine piece of work.
