Ghislaine Maxwell Barred from Service Dog Training: Outrage and Suspicion
Ghislaine Maxwell will be prohibited from participating in the service dog training program at her new prison in Texas. Canine Companions, the organization that runs the program, has a strict policy against allowing inmates convicted of crimes involving abuse toward minors or animals, including those of a sexual nature, to train the puppies, to protect the vulnerable animals. The prison-based programs, which help address a national shortage of service dogs, have proven successful, with dogs trained by inmates having a higher success rate and the inmates themselves experiencing lower recidivism rates. Despite the benefits, Maxwell will not be able to participate in this program.
