If a person with dwarfism or any type of disability is convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison, they will serve their time.

If a person needs accommodations, then by law, (American with Disabilities Act) the prison needs to make sure the individual receives what they need to finish their sentence. For an example, large print materials, sign language interpreter, wheelchair accessible showers, etc.

The only time a person with a disability needs to be segregated from the other inmates is IF they are being threatened by other inmates or have physiological problems or mental health issues where they cannot be around other people. But this applies ONLY if needed and just having a disability does not automatically apply. In fact, ANY inmate can request to be transferred to a different unit if they feel threatened.

The ADA provides individuals with disabilities to have equal access to services and their communities that are open to the public. If a Person with a disability is sentenced to prison, they have the equal opportunity to serve their time like everyone else.

Convicted dwarfs go to Oz and clean up after the flying monkeys.

Yes, but they get sent to the Little House, not the Big House.

Seriously, they get sent to prison just like anybody else.

Yes because they could be put in solitary confinement to protect them from other inmates.
