What is the deaf penalty? The deaf penalty is what happens when Deaf/HoH people have traumatic or deadly interactions with law enforcement officers that they otherwise would not experience if they were hearing.

The Deaf Penalty’s mission is to eliminate the deaf penalty by providing law enforcement agencies with awareness and education on Deaf issues and ASL.

The Deaf Penalty is a program provided by Sindalu Community a 501c3 nonprofit, EIN 93-3741377.
