Just an update on our group at the Medium Security Facility of the Kansas State Penitentiary [begun in May]. We have averaged 17 persons per meeting after two months, with a high of 22. We experienced normal rough edges at the start but seem to be getting comfortably into a routine now, and our last few meetings have been most active and profitable.… Of course, learning to work around the circumstances of institutional living is trying, but we are coping well.

Greetings! I am an inmate in the Kansas State Penitentiary. Last week, for the first time, I attended an SA meeting. Never having attended an AA or any other such meeting, I found the meeting not only interesting, but also something that I feel I need.… I was surprised to hear of sexaholism, but now that I’m starting to look at things in that light, things are beginning to make more sense.

We have just completed our second meeting and elected our officers, plus we have started our study program of the “White Book” and have found that this program is what we have been searching for. This information gives us the tools that we need to help ourselves toward sexual sobriety and recovery.…
[And in a later letter:] Thank you for the support and help that you and the SA organization have given us in helping us get a program started within ADC. We pray that through the will of God and SA we can obtain total sobriety and recovery and use what we learned through SA to help others on to sobriety and recovery.
