[humanser] Do You Work in a Jail or Prison?

[Doug Lee]

I remember, many years ago, a blind man working in Corrections
speaking as part of an NFB convention general session, but sadly I
don't remember the year, the man's name, or the title of his
presentation. Perhaps someone else on this list will remember more
than I do? All I remember right now is a comment he made while
discussing his techniques for avoiding physical conflict, which was
that he ascertains whether the person is left or right handed, then
stands facing that person in a way that causes that person's dominant
arm to be beside a wall, hence, short of room to be drawn back for a
sudden punch. The strategy intrigued me at the time for its subtlety,
as I recall.

Dear all,

 

                I am posting this message on behalf of President merry
Schoch whose computer is in the hospital. A blind social worker is preparing
for an interview on Friday, June 12  to work with inmates in a local county
jail. In order to prepare for this interview and the possible concerns that
may arise as the result of the perspective employee's blindness, we are
seeking blind professionals who are currently working or have successfully
worked in a prison or jail with direct inmate contact. If you are willing to
discuss this experience and help our member prepare for this interview,
please send a message to
