This was a very powerful and heart touching movie. Being an animal lover and, having a son in prison who is also an animal lover, this movie hit all the right cords. I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Get out the Kleenex. However, in the end you will be cheering.

If you like movies about animals and the impact they can have in people's lives, then this is the movie for you. Be advised, tho, have your kleenex handy, you WILL cry.

This movie shows how you can over come difficult lives in a very unique way. It shows the hardship of prison life yet how something very different can be added that brought hope. The dogs were very well trained. Great movie to show how people can change through love.

A VERY TRUE STORY OF HELP FOR THE HANDICAPPED FROM A PRISON ASSISTANCE FOR TRAINING DOGS.

Will keep you interested. Great acting. Eye opener on the inside of prison walls. Dogs can do alot for people.

This is a fact-based film based upon the first prison, which happened to be a woman's prison, where enlisted inmates were selected to train helper dogs. It is necessarily gritty at times and has the feel of 'happening,' rather than the Lifetime style where a tinkling piano cues and over-wrought acting overwhelms the viewer.

"Within These Walls" is textured by the light hand of a director who respects the instincts, timing and pacing possible when great actors are given the opportunity to inhabit their characters.
