Build Programs, Not Jails, is joining with the Champaign County ACLU, 
the NAACP, First Followers Reentry Program and the Peace and Service 
Committee of the Friends to co-sponsor this important public policy forum.

Keynote address by Carol Ammons, Newly Elected State Representative.

Champaign County is now considering a $32 million jail construction 
proposal while at the same time applying for grants to fund strategies 
to reduce the jail populations. Meanwhile the governor is promising to 
reduce the prison population in Illinois. We stand at a crossroads: 
build more jail cells or develop programs that reduce incarceration?
