CellMates is a jail dogs program that operates out of Fulton County
Jail, in Atlanta, Georgia. The 8-week program pairs a Fulton County
Jail inmate with a Fulton County Animal Shelter dog so that through
their relationship they can help rehabilitate each other. The goal of
the program is to save more dogs by training them to be better pets
and help inmates become better citizens. Canine
CellMates has partnered with California Pizza Kitchen (the
Ashford/Dunwoody location) and is holding an event tomorrow,
Wednesday, August 21, 2013 called “Pizza with a Purpose” in which patrons bring in the
flyer (Canine
Cellmates CPK Flyer) and 20% of their check goes directly to
Canine CellMates.
Canine
CellMates give the inmate a productive new sense of hope and newly
trained skills to care for and train shelter dogs, and give
the dogs the skills they need in order to become adopted into and
spend the rest of their lives in loving and caring homes.The mission
of Canine CellMates is to establish a continuing partnership between
Fulton County Animal Services, the Fulton County Sheriffs Office and
Fulton County Jail, and Canine CellMates to rehabilitate inmates
housed at Fulton County Jail and homeless dogs from Fulton County
Animal Services through a Good Behavior Incentive program.
The incidence of violent outburst in prison and jail facilities where these program are in place has shown a dramatic decrease, sometimes as much as 50%. Recidivism rates have also shown marked improvements. The Atlanta metro area has one of the highest recidivism (or re-offend) rates in the country, around 70% within the first 2 years after release. In Gwinnett County, over 300 inmates have gone through this program to date, and only 6 or 7 of them have since re-offended, which is roughly 2.3%.
