Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Incarceration Innovations, we firmly believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This commitment is reflected in our dedication to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many available standards and guidelines.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline four key principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. By adhering to these principles, we aim to create a website that is not only easy to use but also compatible with a wide range of assistive technologies.

Our commitment extends beyond simply meeting the minimum requirements. We are continuously seeking ways to enhance the accessibility of our website and provide a seamless experience for all users. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements and best practices in the field.

As part of our commitment, we regularly review and test our website to identify and address any accessibility issues. We also welcome feedback from our users, as it helps us to improve the accessibility of our website and better serve the needs of our community.

Features Implemented for Accessibility

To ensure our website is accessible, we have implemented several features designed to enhance the user experience for individuals with disabilities. These features include:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content logically and provide clear meaning to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and function of the image to users who cannot see it. For example, an image of the Silver Ridge Correctional Center has the alt text "Interior view of a cell within the Silver Ridge Correctional Center, highlighting the ergonomic layout and natural light."
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
• Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to make the content easily readable for users with low vision.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website without losing content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
• Forms with Labels and Instructions: All forms on our website include clear labels and instructions to help users complete them accurately.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts to make them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, further enhancing the accessibility of our website.
• Skip Navigation Link: We provide a "skip to main content" link at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content.
