Chicago-Based Jail Education Solutions Seeks to Change What’s on TV

April 4, 2014 By kaia

The mission of new Chicago-based social venture Jail Education Solutions (JES) is to replace daytime television in jails and correctional facilities with educational and edifying programming. In addition to broadcasting educational content such as GED courses, documentaries, TED talks, and motivational profiles of people formerly in prison, JES’s closed-circuit programming includes information on legal issues, health and wellness (such as Medicaid enrollment), job seeking and career development, and community resources available to people as they leave correctional facilities. JES was developed in partnership with Chicago’s Cook County.
