I have a disability. do I have the right to get accommodations for my disability while I am on parole?
Yes. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California state law[660] protect you from discrimination due to your disabilities.[661] There are specific rules and procedures that govern your rights while you are in prison or on parole in California:
- The rules for individuals with physical disabilities (such as mobility, hearing, and vision disabilities) and learning disabilities are in the Armstrong Remedial Plan (January 3, 2001, amended December 1, 2010), § IV.S.
- The rules for individuals with developmental disabilities are in the Clark Remedial Plan (March 1, 2002), § VIII.
