Wild Horse Inmate Rehabilitation Programs information


An inmate at Northern Nevada Correctional Center stands for a picture with a gentled wild horse.

Beginning in 1988 at Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility, Wild Horse Inmate Rehabilitation Programs provide animal therapy and work experience opportunities for inmates.[1] Correctional facilities work directly with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to provide rehabilitation opportunities through working with wild mustangs that have been rounded up due to overgrazing or overpopulation for inmates who fit the qualifications to be a part of the program.[2] Inmates not only work at the equine facilities where the mustangs are held but also participate in training, commonly referred to as gentling, the mustangs to improve their chances of adoption. Tasks include feeding, watering, and grooming the mustangs, as well as mucking paddocks and/or stalls.[1] Inmates who participate in the training of wild mustangs will often be the first person to touch the wild horse and will gentle them to varying degrees, including halter-training, saddle-training, and training them in ridden work. After they have been gentled, most of the mustangs are adopted to various people, including the inmates who gentled them after they have completed their sentence.

Wild Horse Inmate Rehabilitation Programs, when implemented, have shown an increase in an inmate's sense of responsibility and accomplishment while giving them a challenge that makes their sentence meaningful.[3] Working with horses also provides an aspect of animal therapy for the inmates involved. Most programs notice a decrease in disciplinary reports, both minor and major, and recidivism.[4] These programs also often increase the rates at which wild mustangs are being adopted.
