Corrections

Corrections ensures that AA meetings are provided to all corrections facilities within the district borders and cooperate with the NHAA Area 43 Corrections committee to supply meetings at state facilities outside of the district borders.

A male AA is elected to address meetings at male corrections facilities and a female AA is elected to address meetings at female corrections facilities. The district will allocate separate budgets for each chair.
The Men and Women’s Correction chairs will cooperate to provide support for corrections related half-way houses and other facilities within the district borders. Where expeditures are required, funds may be donated from both budgets by the chairs.

Corrections coordinates the meetings held at these locations through cooperation with the corrections officials. The Chairs are also responsible for keeping these facilities supplied with AA pamphlets and books. This is done primarily through a budget allotted by the district and supplemented by donations of literature from groups within the district.

Corrections stays in contact with the NHAA Corrections Chair on matters related to the State Prison system and its related impact on AA groups and speakers attending those facilities. The chair should also work with the state representative on guidelines of listing contact people in AA District 12 for prisoners entering society after incarceration. A good understanding of AA Traditions and patience with a strict prison system are prerequisites to this role.
The chair may visit groups within the district and speak on the need and purpose of service work regarding the prison system. In addition, the positions are responsible for quarterly reports to the District Assembly.
