I am 44 and have been locked up since the end of 2019, I’m over halfway through my time sentenced. It’s been a rough ride, but I’m doing what I can to get through it.
I had support from friends and family at the beginning of my sentence, but as the years passed, things began to change. Sadly, I lost my mom to C.O.P.D. just nine days after my first year in. My ex-girlfriend met someone else and eventually stopped talking to me. I had a couple of cousins that I used to talk to, but people tend to give up caring or just forget about you when you are locked up, out of site, out of mind. It’s not just the case with me — it seems to happen with most of the guys in here. I don’t think it’s intentional; it’s just that people get busy, and sometimes life gets in the way.
Lately, I’ve kept to myself a lot, just trying to get through my sentence, but I have held onto hope that somebody might be out there I could communicate with. Prison is not a good place for anything, especially trust or friends.
When I was free, I usually worked 3rd shift. I love to make people laugh. I’m a movie and music fanatic, 420 friendly, and kind of a hippy, I guess. I don’t drink or do any hard drugs, though.
People ask me what my type is, and I always say, I don’t have a specific type. I’m drawn to every woman, and I appreciate how amazing each one is in her own way. Sometimes, men just aren’t able to see it or appreciate it — their loss, right?!
I like animals. I’ve had cats and dogs, and plan on getting a dog when I get out and get life going again. I’m from Huntington, Indiana. My kids are teenagers now, both of my parents are deceased. I have no piercings, only one tattoo.
What’s my job in prison? I’m a wheelchair pusher. It’s not glamorous but it is decent pay for prison. I’ll never ask for money; I’m only looking for someone to give me a chance — a chance to have a friend, to be cared about, and maybe one day to know love again.

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.
