My name is Stephen, but everyone calls me Sterling. Been down since 2023 with a little over 5 years left.
I’m a family guy. My greatest achievement in life is my 3 girls. They mean everything to me. I love being a father. Guiding them, protecting them, watching them grow and smile. It fills my heart. All I want is to make more memories with them.
Life has its ups and downs, but it’s not our lows that define us, rather it’s about how we rise above them. It’s not easy, but we should do it for ourselves.
I’m a talented cook. Making a meal that can make someone pause, then smile, and want more, is awesome. I’ve tried many dishes from around the world. When I cook, I like to mix cultural dishes together to create a new taste.
I love learning and experiencing life, as well as meeting new people and learning about them and their life experiences. I like deep conversations. So many fascinating things out there in the world and I want to explore it all.
If you’d like for us to get to know one another, you can write me a letter. Let me learn more about you. If writing letters isn’t your style, you can hit me up on the text app GettingOut. I will reply ASAP. (I’m in Oregon, and my facility is listed as Two Rivers Correctional Institution). I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Truly,
Sterling
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.
