This is so precious and heartwarming.

A jail in Lincoln County, Nebraska has adopted 2 cats from the local shelter to help inmates relieve stress while also bringing companionship.

According to Sheriff Jerome Kramer, "The pet therapy helps reduce stress." Even inmate Guy Meyers agrees. He says, "They bring out the soft part in you just like your kids do."

Awww, that's really sweet.
