A prisoner feeds two horses at the “Horses for Hope” Equine centre at the Castlerea Prison, in Co Roscommon Ireland, on April 20, 2022 as part of a new program to teach convicts compassion and practical skills through work with horses. The purpose-built stables and adjoining paddock stretch almost as far as the high grey, exterior wall of Castlerea Prison in central Ireland. For the men held at the medium-security jail in County Roscommon, the horses provide an opportunity to learn practical skills – and develop compassion in the work. The new equine centre – named “Horses of Hope” by the inmates themselves – is the first of its kind in Europe and was officially opened this week. (Photo by Paul Faith/AFP Photo)
