Back to Basics
at Richmond, Virginia Correctional Facilities
For more than ten years, the Back to Basics A.A.
Beginners' Meetings have been dramatically lowering the
recidivism rate at various correctional facilities in the
Richmond, Virginia area. We are now making the one-hour DVD of
this life-changing program, recorded on October 27-28, 2002,
available on YouTube. During this DVD, Wally P. and others
interviewed the sheriff, mental health director, corrections
officers, male and female participants, and "alumni" of the
program. From these interviews you can see for yourself why the
Beginners' Meetings are making such a difference in the lives of
so many people who are incarcerated.
In addition, we have made PDF versions of the four newspaper
articles written during this period of time about the success of
the Back to Basics A.A. Beginners' Meetings
"behind the walls."
The success of the Back to Basics A.A. Beginners
Meetings at various Richmond, VA correctional facilities was
described in great detail in four newspaper articles during the
summer of 2002. The articles are as follows:
