Much research centers on correctional programming and successful reintegration; however, little work explores how incarcerated people with disabilities (IPWDs) perceive accessibility and accommodations in such programs. Given that this population has a higher recidivism rate than others, it is important to better understand unique problems faced by IPWDs. The sample was drawn from a local reentry program in Virginia. Utilizing qualitative methods, data were collected through a focus group interview and in-depth interviews. Three themes identified from these data were the lack of attention to programs, barriers to medical services, and dissatisfaction with correctional staff. Implications for correctional facilities are presented as well as suggestions for future research.
许多研究集中在惩教计划和成功重新融入社会方面；然而，很少有研究探讨残疾在押人员（IPWDs）如何看待此类计划中的无障碍设施和便利条件。鉴于这一群体的累犯率高于其他群体，更好地了解残疾在押人员面临的独特问题非常重要。样本取自弗吉尼亚州的一个当地重新融入社会计划。采用定性方法，通过焦点小组访谈和深度访谈收集数据。从这些数据中确定的三个主题是对计划缺乏关注、医疗服务障碍以及对惩教人员的不满。同时还提出了对惩教设施的影响以及对未来研究的建议。
