September 21st, 2010 » Corrections
and the ADA: Balancing the rights of
people with disabilities while
incarcerated
Studies show that a large number
of individuals within the prison
system are people with
disabilities. The literature
discusses how the various
systems serving incarcerated
individuals have historically
treated people with disabilities
in a manner that did not address
their rights to equal access to
programs and services, as well
as the removal of physical
barriers or provision of
effective communication. This
session will explore the strides
that have been made and
strategies implemented within
the corrections community to
address the rights of
individuals with disabilities
while retaining its focus on
imposing punishment.
