They say art is a window to the soul, and if you saw my cell, you’d see a lot of it. I’m a 34-year-old artist who has spent my time inside turning ink and paper into a future. Tattooing isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s my trade and my ticket to a new life. I’m 5’10”, Mexican, and I stay sharp by hitting the weights and staying active in sports. I’d describe myself as humble but confident, with an outgoing personality that’s ready for the world outside. I’m paroling to Portland soon, and while I’m ready for the challenge, I know the road to success is better traveled with good people in your corner. I’m looking for positive connections, solid advice, or even just a friendly voice to help me. If you appreciate creativity and a guy with a plan, hit me up on the GettingOut app. Let’s see where the conversation goes.
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.
