Unique security features can pose challenges to designing accessible detention and correctional facilities. The next webinar in the U.S. Access Board's free monthly series will take place January 5 from 1:30 – 3:00 (CT) and will provide an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) accessibility requirements for detention and correctional facilities. Presenters will review both scoping and technical provisions addressing holding cells and housing cells with mobility and communication features, visiting areas, and medical care facilities. This session will highlight applicable provisions for these facilities along with some additional requirements established by the U.S. Department of Justice.
