Project Pooch

An interesting project where dogs are given to deliquents has had surprising results.

About twenty years ago, whilst in the States, I saw a program about how they were giving hard core prisoners, broken down racehorses to care for somewhere in New York state. Like Pooch the project was successful in rehabilitating the prisoners.

We are in the racing business and wonder why such a project has never been tried using Highpoint prison, which is very close to Newmarket. The racing industry would give it a chance. But would Blunkett?
