JLG  @ UW-Madison

The JLG’s mission is to provide educational, recreational, and community resource reading materials to the people in the jail facilities in Dane County, Wisconsin. Our goals are:

• To meet the educational, recreational, and community resource reading needs of the residents.

• To locate and share useful community resources with residents that will help them or their families address and solve their needs.

• To educate the volunteers and the local community about issues related to incarceration, poverty, crime, justice, and fairness that are a part of and affect our community.

• To use our resources and knowledge, as UW-Madison iSchool students and community members, to support incarcerated residents by furthering their educational goals.

• To provide a safe and constructive environment for diverse people to come together, share, and learn from each other.
