In addition to effective communication, what is a goal of the Office for inmates with limited English proficiency?

The goal of the Office for inmates with limited English proficiency to ensure compliance with civil rights regulations is essential because all individuals, regardless of their language abilities, have the right to access necessary services and information within the detention system. This compliance is crucial for protecting the rights of these individuals and preventing discrimination based on language barriers. It reinforces the importance of providing equal treatment and access to the services that other inmates receive, which is fundamental in upholding civil rights.

While providing legal representation and language classes are important considerations for supporting non-English speakers, they do not directly address the overarching goal of ensuring that the rights of individuals are respected and upheld in accordance with civil rights laws. Limiting access to services would contradict this goal and is not a practice aligned with the mission of the Office for inmates with limited English proficiency.
