Hello there, this is not the usual way to make a new friend, but unexpected things happen from time to time. I would like to meet someone that I can make a connection with, possibly develop a friendship with some consistency, stability and reliability. I like talking to someone with emotional intelligence. Someone that can have an in-depth conversation as well as laugh at something that is silly. A little about me. I like most outdoor activities. I spend a lot of time listening to music, writing or reading a good book or trying to learn something new. I crochet a lot of things from cuddly stuffed animals to warm cardigans. I exercise regularly for my mental health as well as physical health. I enjoy working on mindfulness programs and practice meditation/yoga. I grew up here in TN but have done a little traveling. I may talk like a hick but have a decent understanding of grammar and know the correct use of there, their, and there. People tell me I have an odd sense of humor, and I am not sure that is a compliment. If you are looking for someone that knows how to listen, someone to talk with about your day, share stories or share a bad joke, please write to me. If you are interested, I can tell you how to contact me using the text message app on the tablet I have. If you like good coffee and bad jokes, we will get along beautifully. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
