Last update - 20:34 19/05/2008 Israeli jails use dog barks to spot prison break By The Associated Press Tags: guard dog, Israel  A senior prison official says Israeli jails are using a custom-built computer program to interpret the barks of guard dogs and distinguish between everyday woofs and warnings of a breakout. Noam Tavor, head of the Israel Prisons Service canine unit, says the program fixes shortcomings where guards have either not heard dogs sounding an alarm or failed to speedily identify its significance. "It collects the dogs' barks through microphones...and sorts and grades them," Tavor told Army Radio on Monday. "It relays only the barks that are significant in terms of security - barks that reveal stress or aggression in the dog."
