Ambitious and Loyal, with a Heart of Gold

Inmates often use pen pal websites to complain about their conviction, or about how they were treated unfairly. That's not who I am or what I'm about. I'm Darryl, and I admit that I've made mistakes in my past. Too many mistakes, in fact. I was a hustler, plain and simple, and was arrested for a drug charge. Sentenced to 15 years.

They say life must be lived forward but can only be understood in reverse. Instead of dwelling on this unfortunate part of my past, I've practiced mindfulness and spirituality, learned from my mistakes, and I continue to grow daily as I look toward the future.

I'm stuck here for several more years, and I can't change that. But one thing I've become passionate about is mentoring younger offenders and helping them not make the same mistakes I made. If I can prevent even one person from returning to prison, I will consider that a huge success. Despite the prosecutor in my case calling me "a violent gang-banging drug dealer and thug," once you really get to know me, you'll see that in reality, I'm ambitious, loyal, and have a heart of gold. Creativity flows through my veins. I'm an artistic soul who loves to express myself through painting and beading. I also love writing letters and sharing life's experiences, good and bad.

Why am I on this pen pal site? I'm hoping to meet a natural-born woman who is funny and down-to-earth. Someone I can feel comfortable having a conversation with. I hope to make a bond, make her laugh, be her peace, and maybe make a real connection that lasts beyond these walls. Let's explore this journey together.

Here's a direct link to email me on JPay. You can also write me at the postal address listed in this profile or send a message through PenPals.Buzz, I look forward to getting to know you!

Your new friend,
Darryl
