Listen to a story.\n\nFrom the U.S. D epartment of Justice\, Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report on Disa bilities Among Prison and Jail Inmates\, 2011-2012:\n\n"...disability type s: hearing\, vision\, cognitive\, ambulatory\, self-care\, and independent living.„ An estimated 32% of prisoners and 40% of jail inmates reported having at least one disability.„ Prisoners were nearly 3 times more likel y and jail inmates were more than 4 times more likely than the general pop ulation to report having at least one disability."\n\nCommunications issue s can lead to less Quality Education\, fewer opportunities in the Economy\ , and can increase consequences of poverty including poor health and the i mpact of crime\, which is multi-faceted. Even in Court\, where people shou ld be heard\, professionals might not be aware they must provide accommoda tions. Costs can be Onerous for all the interactions among citizens\, atto rneys\, witnesses\, family\, experts\, government\, Judges\, etc. It can b e very challenging just to identify resources that are available for accom modation\, and in some places including jails\, accommodations might not b e available. Many people just give up\, fail to request accommodation or t hey might not be aware they require accommodation\, and then they plead to some crime or other (90% defendants take a plea rather than going to tria l)\, resulting in going to jail or prison\, where things will get worse.\n \nWe have focused on raising awareness\, listening to Stories\, and invest igating how innovative technologies can reduce disparities while providing access to the Justice System. We have been following the Mock Trial Team through their seasons\, interacting with Attorneys\, Judges\, County Clerk \, and others to gain greater understanding. Join us at Joe and Joe's Rest aurant for Dinner\, Discussion\, Stories\, Trivia\, Photo and Video Booth. Hear\, here!
