I think encountering a personality that does not accord them god status is good. People are different and learning how to deal with the cat personality will help them deal with the different humans in the real world. Being humbled is not a bad thing.

The best idea ever. Good for the cats and also for the inmates. Could help reab the inmates. Everybody wins!!!

Oh I have been seeing this on MSNBC about other prison doing this.. I think its a great idea.. Its good for the inmates && the cats.. The inmates learn how to love & respect for humans again by loving & respecting the cats.. The cats have got good homing & loving with the inmates..
