Corrections

District 13 Corrections

The purpose of the corrections committee is to coordinate the work of individual AA members and groups who are interested in carrying our message of recovery to incarcerated alcoholics. Bringing meetings and literature into facilities, raising awareness of the Corrections Correspondence Service (C.C.S) among "inside" and "outside" AA members and helping inmates transition to local AA Community through Prerelease contacts are just some of the activities corrections' committees support.

Announcements:

• AA covers only 50% of the Monday meetings for men at the state prison for men in Concord.

• AA covers only 50% of the Thursday meetings for men at the state prison for men in Concord.

• Besides a few "word of mouth" recruits, I do not think we have seen a new AA volunteer for several years.

• Any help in getting new volunteers would be appreciated.

Bringing meetings behind the walls is a great joy - the best thing that I have done in recovery.

Bringing meetings behind the walls is guaranteed to deliver a good dose of gratitude.
