K-9 Corrections program helps inmates, dogs learn to get along

WARREN, Maine — They’re in there for the same reason. Both the men and the dogs broke society’s rules. Now the Maine State Prison brings misbehaving dogs together with inmates to help each other.

A rehabilitation program for both humans and dogs, K-9 Corrections takes puppies from the Humane Society of Knox County in Thomaston that are at risk of not being adopted and ships them to the minimum security prison where they are trained. Simultaneously, the prisoners learn patience and social skills as they teach the animals to behave.

Sadie, a black Lab, was locked in a cage for long stretches of time with her first family, which eventually gave her up because she was so bouncy and full of energy.

“When she came in she was like a kangaroo. She was abused in the sense that she was over-crated and didn’t get any freedom at all,” said Marie Finnegan, a local dog trainer who volunteers twice a week to teach prisoners how to train dogs.

According to the Humane Society of Knox County, Sadie is the typical sort of dog to enter K-9 Corrections. Often the shelter gets dogs that families adopted as puppies, but did not train. They grow up to be rude dogs who don’t understand rules. Sadie’s original family did not have much time for her training, then the couple had children. The couple was scared to have an untrained dog around their babies and gave it up.

Now Sadie, who is 8 months old, lives with her handler, Andy Pratt, 34, originally from Rockland, and her secondary handler, Josh McCarthy, 25, of Freeport. The two inmates usually would be forced to live in a room with three to five other men, but they get the perk of a two-man room for up to three months while they train the dog.
