Hi there,
How has your day been? My day starts with coffee and ends with good thoughts on positive memories. In between, I write, read, and watch some TV as I make plans for a new life beyond these walls.
I am scheduled to be released in less than six months. Though that’s not a lot of time between now and then, I do believe it’s a great period to meet somebody new, interesting, funny, and kind.
A little bit about me: I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. My home is now in Central Illinois where I own my own house. I am an honest, loyal, and assertive person with an adventurous spirit. Movies, country music, gardening, bulldogs, and do-it-yourself projects are among my many, many likes and enjoyments. But I’m behind on the latest technological wares and gadgets and I could really use a crash course on what’s available in today’s society.
I am hoping to meet somebody who is willing to express their thoughts and ideas to someone new; who enjoys bottlerockets in the sky; and who is open to trying new things while exploring new places. But most importantly, a person who’s willing to share their own experiences – good and bad. Life is not meant to be boring. I do have my own tablet and can exchange messages with friends and family through ICSolutions. Thanks for using your time to view my profile and I hope we can be friends.

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.
