    Des Moines: Lawmakers Want to Allow Dogs in Jail, Kick Out

    Lawmakers Want to Allow Dogs in Jail, Kick Out Illegal Immigrants
    By Becky Ogann

    DES MOINES (AP) - Two House Republicans want to allow the use of dogs in prisons to help remove unruly inmates from their cells.

    Steve Lukan, of New Vienna, and Clel Baudler, of Greenfield, sent a letter to Governor Culver today. They say that prison officials have been at a disadvantage since the state last fall banned them from using trained attack dogs to control inmates.

    The state's decision followed a report that listed Iowa among five state prison systems that used the strategy, prompting criticism from human rights groups.

    Now the lawmakers are insisting that Culver restore the dog policy and make sure prison workers are safe.

    The lawmakers have also asked Culver to pressure the federal government to take quicker action against illegal immigrants in state prisons.

    Under their proposal, if federal officials don't respond to an illegal immigrant in the Iowa prison system within 30 days, then the state task force would deport them.

    Culver aides say the governor will review the letter.

    I don't see a problem using these dogs for criminals who STILL cannot behave themselves. If they do what they are told... then the dog wouldn't be released on them.... so WHAT exactly is the problem! Balance... seems to be lacking with some of these groups! Criminals are suppose to call the shots? Use the dogs... they can do what they are told or pay the consequences!
    Please help save America for our children and grandchildren... they are counting on us. THEY DESERVE the goodness of AMERICA not to be given to those who are stealing our children's future! ... and a congress who works for THEM!
