[NAGDU] jail

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for responding.  She is going to school to be a social worker, but
has an interest in people in jail with disabilities.  Again, it isn't a
prison, but the local jail.
It is a criminal justice class that requires them to go to the local jail.

Thanks for everyone's response!

Janell

Wow! I don't know what to say. Where is she going in the jail? What is their
reasoning? I have taken my dog to the women's prison here in Iowa and there
was no problem, but I only went to where the chapel service was held. In
Topeka, Kansas many many years ago I went with the chaplain at the V.A. to
do a service for some of the inmates and there were no questions asked. I
don't get the rationale.

Hi all,

 

I had a college student contact me today with an access question.  She is
blind and about 50% deaf.  She has a class that requires her to go along
with the class to tour a jail.  This is something the university has set up.
When the jail was informed that she would be attending with her guide dog,
they said absolutely not.  They said they would have to shut down the jail
if she would bring a guide dog with her.  She will be with her guide dog and
her interpreter, along with the rest of the class and they still said no.
Just looking for some advice before I get back to her with what to do?

 

Thanks in advance, Janell and Miss Rosy
