In the US, it is illegal to take organs from a dead prisoner. Unless the prisoner has specifically signed an agreement to donate organs after death, organs cannot be removed from a deceased inmate. Removing organs as the question is asked is clearly immoral and illegal.

Why to become a organ donor?

Someone is dying because one of their organs fails. If you have two organs and if you are generous, why don't you give one to them? If you give, you become a donor. Why should you give? Your godliness prompts you to do so. Or why shouldn't we all write a will like this, "If I die suddenly in an accident, please take out my organs and give them to the needy ones." This way, the world will be a happier place to live in.

Do prison inmates get to keep their dogs?

There is a program where tough prison inmates get to pick a dog to take care of for two months. The inmates get to take care of the dogs and take them for walks in the prison yard. The program was made as an attempt to soften inmates. It works well and has now been made into a TV show. (forgot the name. its on animal planet.) I think the dogs belonging to them previously get put up for adoption.
