On May 14, 2017 Greyhound Friends of New Jersey (GFNJ) celebrates the 15th anniversary of our Prison Foster Program. In this episode, hear a conversation with Sue Smith, a former corrections officer with the New Jersey prison system, GFNJ Executive Board Member, and leader of GFNJ’s Prison Foster Program. Sue paints a vivid picture of how the Program works, what a day-in-the-life is like for the dogs and inmates, and why it has achieved such enduring tenure.
