Many animal-interaction programs in prison involve training support dogs for people in the community. Usually, training these dogs is expensive and unsuccessful but in prisons the results for the dogs are promising. Compared to 50% of the dogs trained by the general population being found fit to move on for further training, 87% of dogs trained in prisons met this criterion (Harkrader, Burke & Owen, 2004). These success rates are, in part, due to the extensive amount of time that the inmates can…

Questions about education are always debatable- how to improve it, how can students get the best possible education etc. A discussion in the USA- should community colleges be free? The president of the United States, Barrack Obama at the end of his second term propose America’s College Promise.
