This week, a young dog named Hero will graduate from the Second Chance Pups training program at the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) and go to his forever home with the Herrera family.

Some children will soon be receiving special homemade gifts from their dads. Men at the Omaha Correctional Center took part in a Card n’ Craft Day, which included creating picture frames, bookmarks and cards to send home to their kids.

All of the participants are currently enrolled in, or have previously participated in, the Destination Dads Parenting Program. That program is geared at helping fathers develop the tools they need to improve themselves and find ways to be present in the lives of their children, even though they may be separated due to incarceration. #PositiveChange #MakeADifferenceRead more
