The Corrections Committee is responsible for bringing A.A. into local and state correctional facilities in the Worcester area. Local facilities include the Worcester County House of Corrections and Worcester County Sheriff's Office Re-entry Program. MA Department of Corrections (DOC) state facilities include NCCI Gardner in Gardner, and MCI Shirley in Shirley, MA.

We are currently looking for A.A. members to get active with the corrections committee. To enter a facility as a volunteer, a background check (CORI) is required by most facilities and one year of continuous sobriety is recommended.
