The heart and the mind tend don’t always align with one another. And 13 years ago, I made a regrettable decision that led me to where I am today. Part of me was broken, because of that I probably don’t deserve to have anyone in my life, but when you don’t feel like you deserve what you got, you’ll always work hard to deserve it. I have spent many years in a state of social isolation, and I lost whatever reason I had to smile, when I think about how alone I am it saddens me, but I haven’t just sat around sulking about it. I have turned my life around, and I’ve started a new chapter that’s very contrary to the last one.
For the first 5 years of my incarceration, I was a dog trainer, and I loved it, but I gave it all up to enroll in a college program through a really great university. Once I earn my degree, I will have a better chance of achieving the goals I’ve have planned for when I go home. My plan is to share my experiences and use my education to prevent others from being incarcerated. There’s good within me I like to share with someone, but I haven’t had anyone who’s cared about me in a long time I’ve read, it takes a healthy dose of delusion for confidence, so maybe I’m delusional for taking a chance at this, but this is my last option. If you believe in giving someone like me a second chance, then hopefully I’ll hear from you. The best way to correspond is through JPay.com
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.
