This cat is in the South Boise Women’s Correctional Center recovering in the WISKR program.
“The South Boise Women’s Correctional Center has some very unique programs designed to help the women there learn job skills and other qualities like leadership and responsibility. One of those is the Whiskers Program, a collaboration with the Idaho Humane Society where inmates take care of sick and neglected cats and kittens.
We talk with Stephanie Mark, who’s been at the prison since May. She’s the Cat Coordinator. She starts out talking about the Whiskers Program and then the conversation takes a turn toward some very serious subjects.”
