Correctional Facilities Committee

The purpose of the Correctional Facility Committee is to coordinate the efforts of AA members and groups who are interested in carrying the message of recovery to alcoholics who are in correctional facilities. We also run a "Temporary Contact Program" that puts incarcerated individuals in touch with sober members living in the town where they will be living when released to help them make the transition to living in society. We meet on the following dates at 10:00 am in the Area 44 General Services Office at 2325 Plainfield Ave in South Plainfield.

Use this online form to contact the CFC Committee right away. The form will e-mail your contact information to the CFC Chair who will be in touch about how you can help carry the message to the incarcerated alcoholic.

One of the most suggestions given to the inmate that is soon to be released is "get to a meeting the day you're discharged." Temporary Contact volunteers take the inmate to their first meeting, introduce them to group members and get them started on their journey their very first day.

The CFC Guidelines from the General Service Office of AA explains what the committee does, how it does it and how you can help. If also answers many of the frequently asked questions for new volunteers.

Every Home Group can help carry the message into correctional facilities by setting up a displaying a Jailbox at each meeting. Donations of money or new/used literature will go directly to local institutions. Cash donations are used solely for literature purchases.
