No more so than Jews or Christians do (those that pay attention to all of Leviticus as opposed to the "see, says right here God hates gays" readers anyway). The notion that "contact with a pig or pork product in any way, whether against your will or not = a one way ticket to hell" is a common Muslim belief is a childish invention of bigots who prefer to think in caricature.
Most Muslims (and Jews) do minimize contact with pigs because of the idea they're unclean. I don't think it would be the horrifying ordeal for one Drawscore thinks (beyond the fact a pig probably wouldn't be very comfortable to share a cell with). I don't know why pigs get singled out either, considering there are a lot of animals considered unclean in Leviticus, such as dogs, which are much more commonly met by the average person.
Uncleanness doesn't mean much to Christians because of changes noted in Acts, which, incidentally, manage to get conveniently "overlooked" by some of the same people who love to point out the people who pick and choose certain verses.
In any case, Drawscore can come up with all the crazy ideas he wants, but I'm sure there are at least a half dozen laws and statutes that would be violated by putting any animal in a cell with a prisoner.

It's actually more expensive to execute someone than to keep them alive in jail.
