District 9 WV - Corrections

Welcome to the District 9 Corrections Committee.

Our mission is to coordinate the work of A.A. members and groups to carry the A.A. message of recovery to alcoholics in correctional institutions.

We fulfill the following needs:

Taking 12 Step meetings inside correctional facilities
Providing Big Books and other conference-approved literature to correctional facilities for inmates to request
Becoming a “bridge” by taking newly released members to meetings
Writing letters to men and women who want recovery support while they serve time
Serve as a clearinghouse of information that District corrections chairs and individual AAs can bring back to their groups

We currently take meetings into the following institutions:

Charleston Correctional Center and Jail

Thank you for your interest in helping to carry the message to incarcerated alcoholics.

While most institutions have minimum time requirements for how long volunteers must be free of court control, a volunteer’s criminal history does not necessarily keep them from attending meetings “inside”. More clarity about criminal history and the ability to participate in this type of service can be provided by members of the Corrections committee.
