Hey out there, free world folks. I’m a 57-year-old from Portland Oregon who’s survived 40 years of questionable directions in my life. I’m on the hunt for pen pals who don’t mind being honest, witty, even flirtatious if the timing’s right. I’ve got stories- some true, some exaggerated for effect like that time I accidently challenged a hobo to a staring contest, I’ll follow up later. I love nature, coffee strong enough to wake a coma patient and laughing at myself. If you can handle a letter full of terrible puns, possible wisdom and the occasional rant about why the aliens won’t make an appearance and get it over with, then I’m the man. I’m not picky, just don’t write in German as I’m not there yet. I look forward to hearing from you in letters and emails.
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.
