The webinar hosted by @behearddc is mind-blowing. I cant unsee what I saw. I felt sick seeing & knowing the costs & phone companies’ profits while harming families & deaf/disabled inmates. This is what capitalism in mass incarceration looks. #DeafInPrison
#DeafPrisonPhoneJustice
the current or former (?) inmate talking to @behearddc commented people who head to prison or jail should be protected. It falls on the overall system (educational to judicial) who created this. Deprivation in many deaf & disabled people’s lives should be discussed. #DeafinPrison
the concept of school pipeline to prison (shouldn’t be a concept in the 1st place) doesn’t just apply to hearing schools; this also includes deaf schools. workplaces & more count b/c that’s where deprivation of information often happens. #DeafinPrison #DeafPrisonPhoneJustice
this made me question why FCC is involved to ensure deaf/disabled inmates have their rights to call their families & friends as required by ADA. i wanna know why Sorenson, Convo, & ZVRS are not doing smth b/c this is something they can do. #DeafinPrison #DeafPrisonPhoneJustice
*not (in the previous tweet). i’m sorry

This is an interesting observation. I have different angles on elitism. I mentioned in my previous tweets I don’t believe the existence of “deaf elitism” but there is definitely a hierarchy. I would like to see an elaboration on this perspective.
going to a college, whether it’s a community college or university, is a privilege AND/OR a personal choice. the name of the university on a resume or by mouth can determine but not entirely how your life is navigated.
do we become an “elite” once we graduate from a college?
