[NAGDU] jail

Susan, I am guessing you are a social worker. Where do you go in the jail? You don't go to the cell block, right? They take you to a conference area?

Dear Nancy and listers,

It's my experienced that, even in a medium security prison, the warden has to approve my coming in with my guide dog.
Yes, it's a public place, but it's also a controlled place.
They have other working dogs there, which is probably the reason the warden's permission is required.
I've never been denied permission.

Susan & Liza

I have taken my guide dog to a maximum security prison here in SC before.  I don’t know if it’s considered a public place or not.  I have heard though that the warden has to approve it.

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
