Date: Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Time: 2:00 P.M. to 3:30 P.M. EST

Where:

Online/Web-based

Sponsored By:

Collaborative project of the DBTAC National Network of ADA Centers with funding from NIDRR.

Description:

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 as second class citizens and ignored their rights to equal access whether it be access to medical care, 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 it's focus on imposing punishment
