Two Peas in a Pod
How many dogs have ever gone to Folsom State Prison? My Hearing Dog, Mack, a friendly, 10-pound black Poodle, has, on numerous occasions.
I work in mental health, and one of our folks who opted for street drugs instead of psych drugs ended up in Folsom under the “three strikes” law. After undergoing a stringent investigative process, Mack and I are now listed as “approved visitors.” We go through the metal detector and show our picture IDs at various security points before being allowed inside. Once we’re there, Mack’s a big hit with all the personnel, and especially with the inmates. Each time we’ve been to Folsom, an inmate will come up and ask to pet him. Some tell me that it’s been 25 years since they’ve seen a dog.
