[nagdu] Going to Jail

[Marion Gwizdala]

dear All,
    I know there are those who would rather not take their dog to a prison. 
Similarly, there are those who would rather not take their guide to a zoo. 
On the other hand, there are those of us who have visited and want to visit 
zoos with our guide dogs. In this case, we are talking about a prison, not a 
zoo. Under what premise would a prison be allowed to refuse you the right to 
be accompanied by a service animal?
    I'm going to do some research - unless someone else would like to do 
it - to see if the DOJ has rendered any decisions on this issue. I would 
also like to hear valid arguments about whether or not a visitor's service 
animal should be allowed in a prison or jail. What if the person with the 
service animal is the inmate? Do these civil rights extend to inmates? I'd 
like to see arguments supported by an authoritative resource.
    BTW, which title of the ADA would apply to this circumstance? HINT: you 
can find the text of the ADA at

HTTP://WWW.ADA.GOV

Fraternally yours,
Marion
