Are you tired of the same profiles and lines?

Or guys who lack honesty, sincerity, and respect? Would you like to have funny, intelligent, and uplifting conversations? If so, we have a lot in common.

Hi, my name is Josh, and I’m looking to expand my horizons by meeting new people who believe that life is what you make it. Inner warmth is more important than looks or age, because I want to get to know you from the inside-out. Still reading? Good! Let me tell you some more about myself.

I’m 6’4″ and weigh 215 pounds and I have an identical twin. My friends describe me as witty, confident, self-motivated, loyal, comical at times, and kind-hearted. I enjoy good food. While I may not be the world’s greatest chef, I can make the best ramen noodle or PBJ! LOL.

My taste in music is diverse and really depends on how I’m feeling at the time. But I like Kane Brown, Machine Gun Kelly, Falling In Reverse, Led Zeppelin, and even Lady Gaga. I’m a typical guy as I love watching sports and action movies. Some of my favorite TV shows are: Shark Tank, Fargo, Yellowstone, and of course, ESPN’s SportsCenter.

About 10 years ago I was in segregation, bored out of my mind. All I had in my cell was a 4-inch flexible pen and some paper. So I started writing. 30 days later my book, Pen Pal Success, was done. That changed my life. I’m now the author of 10 published books, but I want more out of life. Do you want more, too? Then maybe we’ll become great friends.

After 20 years my co-defendant is already out of prison. Recent developments in DNA science may help me get out also. Illinois is bringing back the parole board, so I went from having no hope of ever getting out to a positive outlook on life once again. The last time I was free, you had to carry a cellphone like a suitcase! So, it doesn’t matter to me if you use Apple or Android; I’m just looking for someone to help me get used to being free again.

I’m tired of being treated like a monster in a zoo, judged off a past mistake. Instead, I’d like to find a true friend. If you think that’s you, send me a letter (using the mailing address in this profile) or by downloading the Corrlinks Text Chat app, I guarantee I’ll respond!

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.
