While being convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term of incarceration is difficult for everyone, for individuals with physical disabilities it can be that much more challenging. Unfortunately, disabled people often get placed into solitary confinement, and this has many devastating effects on the individual, primarily when they can’t perform life’s basic daily tasks. Disabled people are typically punished, overlooked, or ignored when incarcerated.
