Looking for genuine friendship and meaningful conversation. I’m someone who believes deeply in second chances and the power of connection. Being incarcerated has given me a lot of time to reflect and grow. During this time, I have earned two associate degrees and a bachelor’s degree. I have empathy for others. I have been a GED, college, and employment-readiness tutor, teaching prisoners how to write resumes and develop digital literacy. I am also a mentor to inmates who are new to prison or having a hard time adjusting. I’m looking for a pen pal who values honesty, kindness, and real conversation. Someone who isn’t afraid to talk about life — the good, the complicated, the funny, and everything in between.

What I Can Offer:
-Thoughtful letters
– A listening ear
– Respect and sincerity
– Good conversation
– A perspective shaped by growth and resilience

Everyone needs someone to talk to. If you’re someone who enjoys connecting with people on a deeper level and believes everyone deserves to be seen as more than their mistakes, I’d be grateful to hear from you.

How Does This Work?

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.
