Pygmy goats are all the rage at El Dorado Correctional Facility. Last month, facility administrators welcomed four pygmy goats to EDCF to be raised by eight resident handlers. The benefits of this program include therapeutic effects of interacting with animals which reduce stress on residents and promote positive behavioral changes. The residents can also learn valuable skills related to animal husbandry, including feeding, grooming, breeding, and basic veterinary care for pygmy goats. We’re very excited to see this program ‘baaaaaa’-lloon in size. 😊

In honor of National Womens History month, KDOC highlights several women throughout our agency who were not swayed by the historic perception of this industry as male-dominated. Instead, they stepped forward, bringing immense strength, professionalism, and dedication to our facilities and parole offices. As we look at why these women chose this profession, it is clear that they are an essential asset to our mission and the overall safety of our state.
