Case Summary

On January 23, 2012, a deaf inmate incarcerated at the Idaho State Correctional Institution filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. The plaintiff sued the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. Specifically, the plaintiff claimed that IDOC's failure to provide him with a videophone meant he was denied an equal opportunity to communicate with people outside the prison.

On January 23, 2012, a deaf inmate incarcerated at the Idaho State Correctional Institution filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. The plaintiff sued the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. Specifically, the plaintiff claimed that IDOC's failure to provide him with a videophone meant he was denied an equal opportunity to communicate with people outside the prison. The plaintiff, represented by Disability Rights Idaho, sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The case was initially assigned to Judge Candy W Dale, but later reassigned to Judge B. Lynn Winmill and then Judge Dee V. Benson.

The plaintiff claimed that the text telephone (TTY) provided by the prison did not allow him to communicate in his primary language (American Sign Language). Furthermore, the technology was becoming obsolete as the number of people using a TTY outside of prison had decreased due to changing technology.

The case was referred to Magistrate Judge Larry M. Boyle when the parties agreed to a settlement conference to be held on October 31, 2012. The parties attempted to reach a settlement between 2012 and 2014 but ultimately could not reach an agreement. The defendant filed a motion for a jury trial, which was denied on May 27, 2014. The case was referred to Judge Dee V. Bensen for a Settlement Conference.

The parties reached a settlement on January 16, 2015, in which IDOC agreed to provide the plaintiff with access to a videophone, as well as training for the plaintiff and designated IDOC staff members in the operation of the videophone technology. The agreement also required IDOC to pay $35,000 to the plaintiffs' attorneys, Disability Rights Idaho. On January 29, 2015, Chief Judge B. Lynn Winmill ordered the case be dismissed with prejudice, based on the parties’ settlement.

[Although the settlement agreement is not part of the docket, Disability Rights Idaho posted it on their website.]
