Abstract

Today, more than one billion people, or approximately 15 per cent of the world's population, live with some form of disability and 80 per cent live in developing countries [1]. The disability of a person requires special attention whatever is his status. Unfortunately, the people with disability is not adequately addressed in our correctional home system as they are the minority. This paper aims to explore how far our correctional homes are friendly with differently abled prisoners.

Keywords: Disability; Rehabilitation; Impairment; Handicap; environment; ICT; Equality of opportunity.
