Prisons, Young Offenders Institutions and the like will be subject to the duties of the Equality Act 2010. An example on hearing loss: Leigh Day succeeds in prisoner disability claim (link to leighday.co.uk), August 2011.
A key problem is lack of speech and language therapy provision in these institutions, especially since addressing communication needs may well help a person's successful reintegration into society. It has been estimated that over 70% of young people in the justice system have a communication disability (www.rcslt.org: Young offenders and criminal justice).
I have a separate page on Appearing in court.
