Corrections sees that the AA message is carried to those in prison, many of whom have problems with alcohol and are seeking help from us.

There is a special procedure for all visitors to Correction Facilities. Correction Committee members assist this process and also put on meetings inside the walls of the correctional institutions in Rhode Island for women, men and juveniles.

Committee members collect conference approved literature (the Books Behind Bars program) donated by individuals and groups for use by the inmates which is another way members help these inmates.

The document "Guidelines for Corrections" is published in New York; is very powerful and is recommended reading.

There is also a need for individuals who would be willing to assist in the Bridging the Gap program.  To join those who perform this valuable service click here.

If you would like to sign up a group of individuals for this vital service, please click here for the group sign up form and bring it to the next meeting.
