Correctional Facilities — Service and Meetings
The purpose of a correctional facilities committee is to coordinate the work of individual AA members and groups who are interested in carrying our message of recovery to alcoholics behind the walls and to set up means of smoothing the way from the facility to the larger AA community through making contact before release. AA Guidelines (CFC)
Thank you for your interest in corrections service work. There are several ways to participate with the Correctional Facilities committee and help carry the message of sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous to those who are behind the walls and identify as alcoholic.
