"I think we often overlook what happens to people who are incarcerated," said Carrie Ann Lucas, attorney for the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition.

You should not be subject to discrimination because you happen to have a disability." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
