This is a very interesting question, because one of my goals with DeafInPrison.com is to get some interviews with wardens and corrections officers. Going by the stories I’ve gotten in some of our inmate letters – from deaf inmates – the treatment is nothing other than abysmal.
These people are commonly beaten, raped, and confined to solitary.

My thanks go out again to http://CrimeDime for this wonderful post.
In a case where I interviewed a deaf female prisoner, she commented that she was frequently taunted by female guards who would say, “In here, you are not special…you will be treated like everyone else.”
“Dont’ think you are special and should receive breaks…because you wont.”
