My name is Barrie Isham (Reg# 51850039). I’m from Lansing, MI, and I have about 18 months left until I come home. My friends call me Bear. I’m 6 feet tall, brown hair, blue eyes, about 180 lbs.
I’m hoping to meet some new people to talk to, and I’m open to something serious if the connection is right. I’m in on a gun charge — you can look up my name if you want to know more. I have no charges involving women or children. I’m a good man who made some bad decisions, and I’m focused on doing better.
I like music, the outdoors, cars, good food, and just enjoying life. I love to laugh and make other people laugh too. I’m trying to build something better for myself, and if you like what you see, reach out.
You can text me at 838‑204‑8063. If I don’t respond, it’s probably because we’re on lockdown. You can also message 989‑824‑6575 — my cousin will make sure I get your number and I’ll reach out as soon as I can.
You can also write to me at:
USP Canaan
PO Box 300
Waymart, PA 18472
I look forward to hearing from you.
– Bear
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.
