1. Email or call the members of the Public Protection and Judiciary Committee (PP&J) of the Dane County Board of Supervisors to tell them that you don’t want any money to go to a new or remodeled Dane County Jail! We need them to focus on alternatives to jails and on programs that keep people from being locked up in the first place. PP&J contact info:
