BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Cynthia Bemis -- a convicted animal abuser -- has been released from prison 3 months early.Bemis was sentenced to one year in prison after she was convicted of animal cruelty for having more than 250 dogs on her Mojave compound.The Lerdo Pre-Trial facility confirmed Bemis was released on Wednesday and put in the program Kern County’s Adult Transitional Team.
According to the State Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, ATT is a full service partnership team to serve adults who have previously been inappropriately served because traditional mental health services were not effective in meeting their needs.A rescue group known as, Last Chance For Animals still visits Bemis's compound regularly -- and say they are still finding animals dumped there and rescuers say some are even being poisoned by neighbors.Previous Story 2 Women Convicted Of Animal Cruelty
