Inmate Sues Over Rights

A deaf prisoner is suing the federal prison system. David Bryant says the US Bureau of Prisons should provide him regular meetings with an interpreter, a vibrating alarm and access to a TV with closed-captioning. Bryant starting serving a 99-year sentence in 2005 for breaking into a woman's home in Washington, DC and raping her. He has been at the Penitentiary in Adelanto, California for almost a year. Before that, he served time in West Virginia and Florida. None of the prisons have meet his request.
