The Friends for Folks is a nonprofit organization based in Oklahoma that provides returning citizens with the chance to learn new skills as dog-behavior trainers. The original program was founded nearly three decades ago and recruited men from the Lexington correctional facility to care for dogs rescued from abusive homes. The program’s success prompted the opening of the Guardian Angels program, which trains women who have served time at the medium-security Mabel Bassett prison.
