The Americans With Disabilities Act

Although there are laws in place to protect the right of people with disabilities. Some corporations and businesses might be hesitant to hire disabled

We have prisons all over the United States that are overpopulated and this can lead to many problems. While being incarcerated for a crime, all inmates have the right to proper health care. When a person who is in prison gets sick, they do not have the liberty to make an appointment with a doctor, go to the emergency room, or even run down to the local pharmacy to get some over the counter medications. Inmates are solely at the hands of medical

Disability has been a function historical to justify inequality for any disabled people, but in addition has also helped so many women, and minorities. Over the years there have been many models that can explain disability law. There is a social model which argues that it is the environment, that basically caused those traits to limit the functions; therefore creating disability. Another model that people tend to use when looking at disability is the normative claim, which his that disability should be inscribed as a subject of discrimination If you wanted to compare both models, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is correlated with social model, while the discrimination model is link to many other pass precedents. Before the American Disability Act in 1990, disability went through some revolutionary phases. The first, was to be able to define disability properly.

This is unacceptable and a major issue in a broken criminal justice system. Diagnosed mentally ill patients should not be in prison, they need help that only a mental health facility can offer them. There is a difference between being mentally ill and being a criminal. It is no secret that the state has used the prison system as a dumping ground for the mentally ill. Common sense would lead an observer to conclude that a prison environment is not the best place for a person who is suffering from mental illness.

The Bureau of Prisons carefully lists the inmate’s health care rights and the inmate’s responsibilities in order have access those rights. In the Federal Correction Institution at Terminal Island, California the Inmate Information Handbook lists out the specific rights to health care access each inmate has and then the handbook lists the inmate’s responsibility to be able to access the health care. An example is the inmate has the right to access all services on Terminal Island including medical, dental, and all support services but the

They need health care just like everyone else. There is a show called 60 minutes in. Where people offer to stay to see what jail is really like. It is an eye opener to me because the sanitary conditions were bad... People controlled who stayed where by a Pod boss instead of the guards which is a big issue. On one show that I had seen sewage was leaking in the cells and people where getting sick, One inmate was throwing up blood the nurse saw him for maybe a few seconds and called it a stomach bug. While we tend to view people in prison and jail as dangerous and threat to society it isn’t always that way. All people deserve

Prison provides many challenges and obstacles that the deaf have to face, oftentimes alone. First

The rights of a prisoner to read, write, speak, practice their religion, and communicate with the outside world are often cut far outside what is necessary for established security. This also leads to prisoners to stop communicating with the outside world and family.

Prisoners who had healthcare before becoming incarcerated may have that ignored or taken away from them. International law provides the rights of everyone, including people who may have gotten their freedom take away. The United States of America has the world’s highest incarceration rate. Americans prison population has been growing since the war on drugs led to tough-on-crime laws being implemented in the 1980s and 1990s. (Engel, 2014) Many people enter prison knowing they will be out in a few short months, and others for life. It doesn’t seem the norm to be treating a patient while he or she is chained to the bed. However, no matter the circumstance,

Recruiting disabled individuals who may be capable of operating in the inmate environment without any direct contact would add diversity to the field. Recruiting disabled Officers who may be capable of dispatching, allowing gate and door access, and other duties without ever coming into contact with inmates would again add diversity. Changing from past practices may bring about positive aspects and possibilities for the

It is not uncommon to hear of inmates and ex-inmates having lots of health problems. It is said that many prisoners have severe mental disorders and chronic and infectious disease. Living in prison they are provided a health care facility but it doesn’t stop all the things they are exposed to. Often times it has been proven that when people get out of jail they will try to use their mental incapability to their advantage. Although some of them may have some mental issues I believe that they occasionally try to take advantage of it and get what they can from it.

The prisoners’ loss of some of their rights is part of their punishment for breaking the law if prisoners kept all their rights prison would not work because prison is meant to take away their freedom (Prisoner’s Rights). Prisoners have taken their rights to court multiple time only proving that the prisoners have a loose grasp of what rights they deserve and what prison really is resulting in many foolish cases which waste tax payer’s dollars (Prisoner’s Rights). For example, a prisoner in Westville Correctional facility in Indiana has filled over a hundred separate lawsuits in a time span of 8 years, including one where he sued because the prison would not provide him with pornographic magazines (Prisoner’s Rights). When committing a crime the prisoners’ lost the right to deny a search because now there is reasonable cause to search an inmate making it constitutional according to the 4th Amendment (Prisoner’s Rights). The 4th Amendment states that search and seizures are allowed when there is reasonable suspicion and being arrested falls under reasonable suspicion according to the U.S. Supreme Court (Strip

According to the article titled “Do Inmates Have Rights? If So, What Are They?”, “every inmate has the right to be free under the Eighth Amendment from inhumane treatment or anything considered “cruel and inhumane”. They should have this right because not all of them deserve to be treated poorly or be put somewhere inhumane.

As stated by the founding fathers of America “All men are created equal.” Black, white, brown, short, tall, smart, and dumb, all are created equally. Therefore every person deserves fair judgement. Unfortunately, it is a profound fact that not everyone is born normal and capable of task typical for a common person, who is free from disability. In my opinion, the quote “All men are created equal” serves to promote a friendly environment that helps encourage equality among people and aids to recognize the similarities rather than the differences that separates men. Even so, with this hope, the disabled community still struggles for equality. According to Legal Rights by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), “Almost 10 percent of all

“The power dynamics in prison severely disadvantage the prisoner, who is at the absolute mercy of her guards and correctional officers, relying on them for necessities such as food and for the small privileges and luxuries such as cigarettes. Guards have unlimited access to prisoners and their living environment, including where they sleep and where they bathe.” (Summer 2010). The guards can take away whatever they want, whether it be little luxuries, or basic necessities like food. They also don’t offer proper medical care, like this observation from a woman in prison “I didn’t really complain if I was in pain or anything, because the infirmary was real nasty.
