DESCRIPTION:Our second Disability\, Human Rights and the Law Series seminar
  for 2015-2016 examines how persons with disabilities in prisons are subje
 ct to pervasively poor and often abusive living conditions\, and are routi
 nely denied the care and equipment they need to address their mental or ph
 ysical disabilities.\nHistorically\, there were different institutions wit
 h different justifications for removing certain people from society: priso
 ns for the ‘criminal’\, asylums for the ‘insane’ and almshouses for the ‘p
 oor’. Despite the asylums being closed\, the confinement of the mentally i
 ll persists\; it is estimated that as much as 50 percent of the current pr
 ison population in Canada has a mental illness or other type of disability
 .\nModerated by Innocence ºÚÁÏÉç\, and featuring Kim Pate of the Canadian 
 Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies\, this event is an opportunity to d
 iscuss the practices that best meet the needs of persons with disabilities
  in prison\, and whether prisons have become the new “asylums'.\n
