Publication year:
2006
| Cataloged on:
Dec. 04, 2006
ANNOTATION: The use of dogs to assist in the removal of noncompliant prisoners from their cells is investigated. Sections following an executive summary are: cell extractions; how dogs are used in cell extractions; policy and practice in seven states (e.g., Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Massachusetts, South Dakota, and Utah); views of corrections professionals and experts; standards governing use of force in prisons; and conclusion. "The goal of protecting staff or deterring inmate misconduct cannot justify the use of dogs to terrorize and even bite prisoners" (p. 18).
