Prison Pups follows four prison inmates as they train puppies for the handicapped and hearing impaired on a minimum-security facility nestled in the rolling farmland northwest of Boston. The peacefulness of this landscape belies a controlled and regimented environment where these inmates live with and train puppies over a 10 to 14 month period. The benefits of taking responsibility and knowing unconditional love can be profound as inmates gain confidence and are empowered by their role as trainers.

Although it inspires many "aw shucks" moments, the voice over narration and singular focus make it seem more of a promotional film than a documentary. Do the prisoners lose it some times? How does the general population at the prison feel about the program? Does it help or hurt the chances of relapse after release? Overall it was kinda interesting.
