Abstract:

Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Paws (EENP) is a Carrboro-based nonprofit organization that has partnered with inmates at Franklin Correctional Center to train service dogs. EENP benefits from the work of the prisoners, but the inmates also find the work rewarding. The program helps to improve inmate mental health and gives them skills that may be beneficial outside of prison.
