Drawing Notes:
1. Accessible toilet with rear and side grab bars, clear floor space for wheelchair transfer, and an accessible flush valve.
2. Accessible lavatory with knee and toe space below, faucet controls usable with a loosely closed fist, clear floor space for front approach, and lowered mirror.
3. Doors with 32 inches of clear opening width (when a sliding door is fully opened or a hinged door is open 90 degrees). Clear floor space is required in front of the door.
4. Desk with knee and toe space and clear floor space for front approach.
5. Bed with clear floor space for a side approach next to bed.
Appropriate clear floor space (shown by dashed lines) is needed adjacent to each cell feature (see page 1 diagrams on clear floor space). As shown in this drawing, the clear floor spaces for each element may overlap. Inmates with a mobility disability should be able to use, and move without obstruction among, the easily accessible features of their cells. There needs to be adequate turning space within the cell -- either a 60-inch-diameter circle or a T-shaped turn area. (See diagrams on turning space.)
60-inch (1525mm) Diameter Space
T-Shaped Space for 180 Degree Turns
Note:
Some features shown in this document may be inappropriate for cells where inmate suicide is a concern. See the notes for features specifically designed to minimize suicide risk, while providing accessibility for inmates with mobility disabilities.
