References to all three all over it, as that's where sick alcoholics usually end up. But if you're talking about the actual phrase, "jails, institutions and death," you will find that in the Narcotics Anonymous literature, not AA.
That's not entirely accurate:
It's in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions book (the one dictated to Bill Wilson by the manifested spirit of the 16th century monk Boniface ~ or so he claimed).
It's is in the chapter describing Tradition 9 and reads as follows:
"Each AA member is to follow the 12 steps to the best of their ability or face jails, institutions or death. Therefore, we are disciplined by the spiritual principals of the steps and a higher power of our own understanding. Just as every AA member takes the steps to the best of their ability, each AA group as a whole must follow the traditions…"
