Princess Joins the CReW
(Continued from page 1)


Above, it might not look like it, but Princess is working. It is her job to learn
to stay to the side, getting up only if she is given a command by her trainer.

OOR Cambridge Springs got more a bonus recently when anew trainee joined the crew. She brought royalty with her, in the form of “Princess,” a canine member of the Prison Pup Program. The first Pennsylvania prison tohave this program, SCI Cambridge Springs selects inmates to raise puppies provided by Canine Partners for Life, a non-profit organization located in Cochranville, PA. Inmates are taught proper dog-training techniques and then give the puppies general obedience training during the first year of life. Once the puppy successfully graduates from this step he or she receives specialized training and eventually becomes a Handicapped Assistant dog. These dogs are placed with disabled persons who rely on them to lead a normal life. Princess accompanies her trainer during the workday

From the Mailbox...

Dear Superintendent Good: This letter is to thank you, your staff and the workers [OOR Cresson crew, Instructor Dave Sharp, Instructor Aide Tom Lumadue ] that completed a roofing job on my home in Altoona. Your staff and the workers were highly professional, courteous and exhibited a great deal of technical expertise. I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I was in the construction trade before I became disabled and appreciate a job that has been done well. This job definitely meets this criteria. Again, thank you for a wonderful job and hopefully this program will continue to help people like me and the work force that you are training.

John B. McCready
