My name is Angelina Omara, but you can call me Ang. I’m serving a 198-year sentence. On TV, the media referred to me as a “ruthless killer.” But as with all things in life, there’s so much more to the story.
For most of my adult life, I was trapped in abusive relationships, and was wrought with shame, sadness, guilt, and defeat. I was broken and afraid. Today, I feel strong and courageous. Instead of being stuck in my abuse cycle or victim mentality, I decided it would be so much more productive to help other women who went through similar abuse. I focus much of my energy helping others to transform their lives and set tangible goals, not just for themselves, but for their children and family.
So, you might be asking, who is Angelina Omara, really? I’m a down-to-earth, sensual and passionate Pisces woman who absolutely loves to cook. I’ve even written my own cookbook! I love to laugh, and have a wonderful sense of humor. I’m compassionate with a kind heart.
I really enjoy writing letters and emails, so I’m hoping someone out there might want to be pen pals! I’m also an artist, and appreciate all forms of art (especially drawing and painting). One of my favorite pieces that I created is titled “The Path of Pain to Complete Freedom.” It’s a raw depiction of my life, before and after prison. Art is such a powerful way of expressing feeling and emotions and can be so therapeutic.
Yes, I’m here in prison now, and I most likely will never be coming home. That’s a harsh reality, but I don’t allow that to define the woman I am today. Being upbeat and positive is like food for the soul, and smiling is contagious, so I do both as often as I can. I also work out regularly, read, create new art, imagine new recipes and cook great meals. I am making the most of my situation, that’s for certain.
I’ve always been a fan of nature, so in the summertime I go outside, when I’m allowed, and work on my tan. But more than anything, I genuinely appreciate good company and thought-provoking conversations. I hope that you and I can share in some of these conversations, whether through writing letters, emails, or even an occasional phone call. I am usually kind and sweet, but I can get spicy if I feel passionate about a certain topic.
Send me a message for free here on my pen pal profile, connect with me on JPay (find me in the state of Minnesota), or write me a letter: Angelina Omara #239495, MCF Shakopee Minnesota, Po Box 247, Phoenix MD 21131. I look forward to sharing more of my story, and getting to know yours.
I’ll close with one of my favorite quotes from Nicolas Sparks: “Where does a story truly begin? In life, there are seldom clear-cut beginnings … Yet there are moments when fate intersects with our daily lives, setting in motion a sequence of events whose outcome we could never have foreseen.”
Please note: This service gives you the opportunity to send your first message to a new pen pal, free of charge. If you send more than one message to the same inmate, or a message to someone you already know, they will not be forwarded.
When you send a message using this form, our staff will print and mail it via US Mail or forward it via the prison’s email system, every two weeks. Be patient, and don’t expect an immediate reply. Inmates can’t email you back directly, so include your full name, email address, and complete mailing address or phone number for a reply. Messages without valid contact info won’t be forwarded, nor will messages with threatening or abusive language.
Want to message directly and more quickly? Check the inmate’s profile to see which email service he or she uses (i.e. GettingOut, JPay, Securus). These services cost between 5 to 50 cents per message and offer you the ability to message them directly and instantly.
