We were the first ever SA program in a prison outside the USA. It started at the Newcastle Monday night beginners group Prison Subcommittee. A prison chaplain at Junee Correctional helped us start the first ever SA program in an Aussie prison. We were able to help around six friends in prison within the very first months of our sponsor-by-mail program. With the help of all the intergroups in Australia we were soon helped with White Books, pamphlets, money to pay for postage, and a post office box. The fellowship in Australia was more than happy to help the program.

We created a National Prison Committee within the Australian SA service structure. We continuously aspire to bring the SA program to other Australian prisons.

We informed religious leaders, every prison chaplain, nearly every probation and parole office, courts and prison hospitals, of our prison program and sent them White Books.

We sent all the heads of prison chaplains White Books and SA pamphlets to give to our incarcerated friends who were interested in doing the SA program.

We now wait to see what God does. As a former SACFC chair likes to say “More will be revealed.” In our experience it is the most rewarding service that we have done.
