Presented by Heather McClelland, Tawana Anthony, and Gloria Gilbert Stoga, Founder Puppies Behind Bars
When Groton CT police officer Heather McClelland spent the better part of two weeks working with inmates at New York State’s only maximum-security prison for women, little did she know how much her perceptions would change. And when then-inmate Tawana Anthony spent those two weeks working with Officer McClelland, little did she know how her relations with police would be completely altered. Brought together by Puppies Behind Bars, Heather, Tawana, and president and founder, Gloria Gilbert Stoga, discuss how Puppies Behind Bars work with inmates, police, and Labradors is building bridges and shrinking divides.
