I suspect that the dog/prisoner interaction is monitored enough to
make sure that no prisoner is training an attack dog. Also, the
authorities probably select the generally calmer breeds of dogs////

AFAIK, the shelters in the area identify last chance problem dogs, and
send them to prison so that inmates can work on their training etc as
service dogs & family pets. There's a great series on animal planet
called "Cell Dogs" or Prison Dogs or something. The inmates are very
carefully screened, and it's almost like a badge of honour to be allowed
to work in the program.
