You’ve found the true diamon in the rough! At 5’9″ and 190 lbs. with an intelligent wit, amicable disposition and financially secure, I am a painter, musician, actor, father, brother, poet, and business owner. I am Benjamin
I am the eldest of three with two sisters and six nieces and nephews and one son. Family is important to me and I am blessed to have their support. My mother passed away in March of 2022 but I still have a great connection with my father. I enjoy music (particularly EDM) and have a varied collection. I enjoy hockey, Formula 1, sci-fi, comedy, and political intrigue. I have been a dog groomer and trainer in a past life. In addition to painting, I am teaching myself guitar. I also walk the spiritual path of my Northern Ancestors.
I am seeking to communicate with other intelligent folk worldwide and will respond with a personalized card to everyone who writes.
In this age of digital speed and impersonal relationships, I desire to build intimate interactions with others through valuable and shared experiences. Do you appreciate the finer things and still enjoy the random and silly events that make us laugh at ourselves?
Born in Iowa and reared in Minnesota, I have university education but know that life is more than intellect or physical attributes. I like to connect with folk globally and yearn to experience more that life has to offer. The good part is that I am not dead yet and have an incomplete bucket list. Like many people, I want to live a fulfilled and happy life and hope to share that joy with others. This is what I have learned that everyone should believe about themselves:
When I am inspired to create, I have sense of pride, confidence and joy and hope that I can inspire someone else by transforming something magnificent from a blank canvas.
Colors, shapes, and shade can influence one’s mood and emotions. They can stir memories of sadness, happiness, and serenity.
I am a resident artist and member of the SEMVA.com co-op and have created pieces for friends in New Zealand, Ireland, Russia, the U.K. and locally in the U.S. I am looking to expand my social network within and beyond the states and I primarily do this through direct mail (personal letters) and by phone.
My fine art and creations are like children. One may be for yourself or your gift of appreciation for a loved one. I want to create a personalized and positive opportunity for you to adopt them and invest in YOUR BEST LIFE!
My crime was in 1998 and I have completed my time but am currently in a state residential treatment center.

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.
