Hello my name is Brandon Gilpin, and I am incarcerated in Oregon for manslaughter and attempted murder. I live every single day to the fullest and most importantly, I live for God! I’m 33 years old as of May 18th, 2026, and I’ve been locked in a cage since I was 21 (off and on). The only ones that I have in my life are my mom and my daughter. I am an army vet who was medically discharged after 3 years in 2014. I like to rap and sometimes write poetry to pass the time. I’m looking for a rider to stick beside me through this prison sentence. I’m looking to message through the Getting Out App, talk on the phone and write letters. I don’t have time for fake people either because I’m a real one. I hope that if you are reading this you’ve decided to reach out to me and see where this thing goes between us. I hope to find someone to share my life with and to make my life a little more meaningful. Don’t pass me up, shoot me a message or write to me at my mailing address (in my profile). I’ve also included a picture of my beloved pitbull named “Loco”; this is my favorite breed of a dog. Please feel free to ask me anything that comes to your mind, I hope to hear from you soon.
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.
