The Corrections Correspondence Service (C.C.S.) links A.A. members who are incarcerated with A.A. members on the outside so that both can share their experience, strength, and hope with each other.
Corrections Correspondence Service
For Inside and Outside A.A.'s
This form is available to make it more accessible to corrections committee members who bring the A.A. message inside correctional facilities. The C.C.S. form is not intended for involuntary signups from a third party individual. Our experience shows that unsolicited signing up for the C.C.S may delay a person’s decision to turn to Alcoholics Anonymous for help. Instead please have the “inside” A.A. complete the form and contact us directly so that we can assist them in their C.C.S. request.
The Corrections Correspondence Service is a Twelfth Step opportunity which links A.A. members on the “outside” with A.A. members in correctional facilities to provide a source of experience as it relates to problems with alcohol. Men are linked with men and women with women.
NOTE: Most of the inmates who want an outside correspondent are men, so women who volunteer may have a very long wait for an inmate.
Please download and save this form to your computer. Complete the requested information and save. You can then email the form to corrections@aa.org, or mail it to the attention of the Corrections Assignment, P.O. Box 459, Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10163 or fax it to (212) 870-3003. Thank you for your willingness to serve.
