A.A. can arrange a Prerelease Contact for those soon to be released from a correctional/detention facility. If you are interested you can be matched upon release to an A.A. member in your home community. This A.A. member will take you to A.A. meetings, introduce you around, and help you get acquainted and comfortable in A.A. Your Prerelease Contact is temporary only. They are there to support you, answer questions, and explain the A.A. program of recovery. They will not provide housing, food, clothing, jobs, money, or other such services. You will hear suggestions for sobriety and will be introduced to basic recovery tools — like sponsorship, a day at a time, A.A. literature and A.A.’s Twelve Steps. ---------- Prerelease Request: I am within six months of my release date. I am requesting an A.A. Contact who will provide a link for me to the A.A. community through transportation to meetings and introductions to other A.A.s.
