Jail adopts cats to help inmates relieve stress
Lincoln County Jail inmates in North Platte, Neb. now have some extra company wandering the halls. After inmates volunteered at an animal shelter, the jail decided to adopt two cats to help the inmates relieve stress and give them something to occupy their time. The cats, named Sarge and Nemo, roam the halls freely and are beloved by inmates and staff alike.
“We got their mug shots and put them in a couple of cells where we thought they would be better received. We have a list of cat rules that have been laminated for caring for the cat, such as cleaning their litter box, but they are waiting in line to take care of the cat,” Sheriff Jerome Kramer said.
“They bring out the soft part in you just like your kids do,” inmate Guy Meyers said.
