Corrections Committee
The purpose of the corrections committee is to coordinate service of individual A.A. 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 A.A. community through pre-release contacts.
Prior to 1977, services to correctional facilities and treatment facilities were provided under the umbrella of the Institutions Committee. Because of rapid growth, the 1977 General Service Conference voted to dissolve its' Institutions Committee and two new committees, one on corrections and one on treatment facilities were formed. This division was created to provide better service to groups and meetings in both kinds of facilities.
