Dogs and Prisoners Learning Valuable Lessons from Each Other


YouTube Link

This video is actually a trailer for a documentary film called Dogs On the Inside. The documentary, which was filmed in a Massachusetts prison, follows the story of stray dogs in the community who were rescued and placed with prisoners at a minimum security prison. Before their rescues, the dogs were likely on a path to be euthanized in shelters. The goal of the program is for the prisoners to develop empathy and loving feelings toward the dogs, who in turn learn to trust humans in spite of any troubled histories they may have suffered. It seems to be situation benefiting both the dogs and the inmates.

When someone volunteers to sleep inside the iron maiden, this is used as a "Practice Iron Maiden". If they enjoy the experience with this restful piece of equipment, they can go full size next.

This was an early bear trap, before the spring loaded kind were invented. The hunter had to be incredibly fast in order to manually close it when the bear placed his foot on the lower set of spikes.

It's a corn-nut decobber. Just place the mouth around one end of a cob of corn-nut, grasp the handles and after about 15 minutes worth of sweating and cussing, you've got farm fresh corn-nuts.

Hi !
It' a medical stand designed to hold firmly the arm of hypersensitive agitated children in hospitals when the nurse or the doctor wants to remove them a splinter of a finger, for example, still works great!

This is a medically prescribed device for home use by the patient. The device is worn similarly to a stethoscope. With the earpiece in place the trap is suspended in front of the patient's sternum. The patient is instructed on how to identify the sound of 'gnawed breastbone'; a precursor to emergence. Forewarned, the patient opens the trap and waits for the alien to poke her little head out. Entrapment complete, the device and its trapping are returned for proper disposal.
