The ADA and Our Jails: Delivering Service to All with Dignity and Respect

This session, hosted by TransCen, Inc and the Mid-Atlantic ADA Center, will take a look at the ADA and our jails, from the time individuals enter booking until the day they are released.

Regardless of the disability, it is our responsibility to ensure that those entrusted to us while serving their sentences are treated with dignity and respect.
