There's A Program In Prisons That Allows Prisoners To Adopt Cats, And The Results Of It Are So Wholesome (Viral Reddit Thread)

Adopting a cat is something that has undoubtedly and unquestionably made us better people. And we mean that. Having a cat made us calmer, made us more patient, taught us to appreciate the little things- the little ways that they show affection. Making the decision to adopt our kitties was seriously one of the bets things that we have ever done, and we will forever recommend adoption to others. Honestly, we have never thought about these benefits being applied anywhere else, but after seeing this, we're glad someone else did. 

Apparently, there is an amazing program that allows well-behaved prisoners to adopt cats. The first second we saw it, not gonna lie, we were slightly concerned for the cats, as is our instincts in most situations, but the more we learned about the program, the more we learned about the amount of benefits everyone gets there, the more we were reminded that… yeah, adopting a cat makes everyone better. That's just the magical effect that cats have.
