CORRECTIONS REPORT
Per Debbie, everything is about the same as last month--has had a couple of women attending meetings regularly.
James is facilitating meetings in Florence County Jail. He currently has one person attending meetings.
Val stated that she calls Florence County every week and currently no one is interested in attended meetings. She as well brought up the matter of an individual who attended meetings regularly for 8 months while on the inside but relapsed with narcotics soon after her release--this being said--Val mentioned the possibility of looking for someone who can provide NA support and the matter was discussed. Per Debbie we cannot provide NA support but, as AA is essentially the same 12-Step program, will continue to provide AA support. Per Betty we do encourage NA to come to AA meetings as the same principle applies. It was decided to stay away from NA involvement and just provide AA--
Betty just received four daily Reflections from New Hope Group for women's jail.
Per Debbie will be taking a couple of months off from (AA jail meetings).

PI/PCP REPORT
Per Debbie, the matter of 'getting someone interested' was mentioned.
In regards to AA outreach, Jaeme brought to her union HR the question of whether or not it would be ok to place AA-related literature on a bulletin board located at her employer. She was given the ok to do so by union HR. Per Debbie this is great outreach due to the amount of employees within the union. Jaeme was given literature to post on bulletin board. Literature was also taken by Val and others to take to jails as well.
