Corrections Committee

OUR PURPOSE

The only purpose of the Area 10 Corrections Committee is to facilitate AA members in carrying the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the alcoholic who is confined in a correctional facility. The activities of this committee are based on, and governed by, the Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer:

Area 10 Correspondence Chair

A.A. members on the “outside” can contribute to their own sobriety and that of the inmate by becoming a Corresponding Contact. The Corresponding Contact communicates with the inmate by letter sharing their experience, strength and hope. This helps the inmate to become acquainted with A.A. on the outside and your letter becomes a meeting in print for the inmate.

The following documents are applications for our Bridge the Gap Program. This is a joint effort between Area 10, Alcoholics Anonymous and the incarcerated alcoholic offender from Federal, State and Local correctional facilities. Its intent is to acclimate the newly released alcoholic offender who has been attending meetings while incarcerated, to the AA community where he/she will be residing with the help of an established member in that AA community. Responsibilities of the AA member are outlined on the Volunteer form. A description of the program is outlined on the Offender form, which is designed for the incarcerated AA member.
