ALT text reads “What is incarceration? Incarceration means a person is not free to leave a place where they are being held or confined. Some people use imprisonment or confinement instead of, or in addition to the word, incarceration. While incarceration is often used to refer to being confined in jail or prison, incarceration can also happen in other places. For example, many people are incarcerated in civil commitment institutions, mental health institutions, rehabilitation institutions, and more. Bottom of this slide has three images. Left image has four icons of a phone, the @ symbol for email, the symbol for mail, and VP. Over the four icons is a red slash circle. Center image shows a handcuffed person being led by a cop to a gray cell. Right image shows the symbol for hospital, a large building with a plus sign on top. There is a gradient background of dark blue to dark purple, from left to right. All Text and images are in white, & at the bottom of the slide says @behearddc

ALT Text reads: Disabled people have higher rates of incarceration in jails and prisons than non-disabled people. One main reason for this inequity is ableism (e.g. audism, sanism, linguicism, etc.) in society and in education, policing, legal, foster, & other systems that lead to incarceration. The bottom of this slide shows a parade of handcuffed people being led into a gray cell. There is a gradient background of dark blue to dark purple, from left to right. All Text and images are in white, and the bottom of the slide is labeled @behearddc

ALT Text says Incarceration creates & compounds disabilities and illnesses leading imprisoned people to have more care and support needs. Jails, prisons, and corporations that profit from incarceration often neglect or exploit imprisoned people and their loved ones and refuse to provide adequate support and care. Bottom of this slide shows a gray cell with three people inside. The first person is sitting on the floor with a rain cloud over their head, showing mental distress. The center person is walking with a cane. The third person is crouched with hands up, looking afraid. There is a gradient background of dark blue to dark purple, from left to right. All Text and images are in white, and the bottom of the slide is labeled @behearddc

ALT Text says Disabled people are more likely to return to jail/prison than non-disabled people because of discrimination, lack of support, and systems' failure to address trauma experienced during incarceration. Reentry programs and parole & probation agencies also refuse to provide access then punish disabled people for "violations" or "failure" to complete programming that was never accessible to begin with. Bottom of the slide shows a gray cell on the left, with four handcuffed people being led into the cell. They are being sent by an icon of a house with a red x symbol over the house and a hand with the thumb pointing down showing rejection. There is a gradient background of dark blue to dark purple, from left to right. All Text and images are in white, and the bottom of the slide is labeled @behearddc
