Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15, § 3369.12 – Incarcerated Person Work and Program Assignments.

(a) All incarcerated persons with disabilities are entitled to equal access to work and programs, as incarcerated persons without disabilities.
(b) Once an incarcerated person has been assigned to a program, staff shall be made aware the incarcerated person has a disability and needs reasonable accommodation(s). The staff administering the program shall make the necessary reasonable accommodation(s) to enable the incarcerated person's participation.
1. (1) Accommodations may include, but are not limited to the provision of adaptive supports, assistive devices, and modifications or adjustments to a program.
(c) An incarcerated person's disability shall not be the sole basis for precluding a work or program assignment. An incarcerated person who is disabled, who may be eligible for a work or program assignment, but who cannot be reasonably accommodated, shall be referred to the Interdisciplinary Support Team (IDST) or Unit Classification Committee (UCC) for further placement consideration. Assignment shall be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the totality of the incarcerated person's case factors and the department's ability to reasonably accommodate the incarcerated person.
(d) When an incarcerated person who is disabled is disqualified or removed from a program or work assignment, the determination shall be documented on the automated Classification Committee Chrono (Rev. 05/19), incorporated by reference.
