Czech prison lowers recidivism by training inmates to raise service dogs for the blind.

Inmates at the Jirice prison in the Czech Republic are training assistance dogs for the visually impaired as part of a rehabilitation program inspired by Norway. Twenty-nine of the 800 inmates live without bars and care for animals, including puppies who are socialized and prepared for their future roles. The prison's recidivism rate of 17.2% is significantly lower than the national average of 70%, highlighting the success of the rehabilitation-focused approach.
