The Wild Mustang Program operated from 1988 to 1992 at a comtional facility in New Mexico. Inmate labor operated a horse adoption program. While animal-facilitated therapy is not new to the correctional system, research is limited. We found no other attempt to studv a oroaram of this tm. This case study includes aualitative and qu~titaiiv~evidence. ~i n b h~s suggest that inmate and staff perceptions about the success of the p r o m exceed the statistical evidence. This program was associated with; reduction of disciplinary reports, particularly for those who simultaneously participated in substance abuse counseling and for violent offenders. Evidence is inconclusive regarding t recidivism. [Article copies available from The H m o r t h Document DeliveryService: 1-800- 342-9678.]
