This lawsuit filed in March 2020 on behalf of a group of people with hearing disabilities who are incarcerated in Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) facilities challenges TDOC’s failure to provide effective communication to people who are deaf and hard of hearing and enable them to access the same programs and services as non-disabled people.
