HEARD Deaf in Prison Survey (2025)Download

To learn more about deaf/disabled people’s experiences in prisons and jails, HEARD sends out a survey to deaf/disabled people in prison or jail. If you know of deaf/disabled people in prison, please share copies of this survey with them.

There are many questions on the survey. If someone doesn’t know the answer to a question or if there are questions they don’t want to answer, that is okay. Questions can be left blank with no answer. If more space is needed to write the answers, include an extra paper with the survey responses in the envelope.

When you send HEARD a survey with answers, HEARD will keep the information you share in our private computer database. We will not share any confidential information.

For those who are filling out the survey: Please write “Legal Mail” on the envelope with the survey. Surveys can be sent to this address:
