Transcript:

Hello. A Deaf person was held twice in the Marion County Jail in 2016 and was not provided the auxiliary aids he requested. A class action lawsuit has been filed against Marion County to try to force the County to provide auxiliary aids requested by Deaf and Hard of Hearing people held at the jail. We are trying to locate other Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who were held at the Marion County Jail to learn about their experiences in receiving the accommodations they requested and whether they were assessed by jail staff to determine what accommodations were most suitable for them.
