Pillow Pad – The Ultimate Pen Pal Accessory

If you write a lot of letters from bed, or while sitting on the couch, the Pillow Pad is a must have. If you sit on the sofa at night, watching TV, and emailing your prison pen pal from a tablet or phone, try this; your back and neck will thank you.

So many pen pals complain of a sore neck or back. While they love writing letters, and love using JPay or Securus or any of the other prison email services, they find their poor posture while doing so wreaks havoc on their body. The Pillow Pad helps eliminate the aches and pains associated with pen palling.

This soft, 3-way multi-angle stand lets you prop up and then rotate your printed materials, letters, tablet, notepad, even books or magazines to get the perfect viewing angle. This deluxe version comes with a handy smartphone holder (see bottom picture) so you won’t ever have to change positions in bed or on the sofa if someone calls or texts. Brilliant!

Reduce neck strain, back aches, stiffness, and hand cramps. Enjoy the experience of reading and writing letters, without sacrificing your personal comfort.

My List of Prison Pen Pals – Paperback Lined Journal Notebook (Ships direct from Amazon)

If you write to multiple inmates in prison, you’ve got to get this journal. It allows you to keep track of each pen pal you have. You’ll always have information handy, like: what’s their favorite TV show? When was the last time they wrote? How many siblings do they have? When is their birthday? This is a blank lined journal, originally designed as a practical joke. People would have this book on their office desk, for instance, and a client would come in, see it, and be shocked. However, we’ve found more people buy this book as a legitimate way to keep track of penpals.

Many have tried writing down details on pieces of paper, or in a little notepad, but generally those get lost or misplaced. This book will be nearly impossible to lose. You’ll always know exactly what information is inside.

It’s also a great gift for your inmate pen pal. Because it ships directly from Amazon and is paperback, most inmates are able to receive it. (Check with them first, as some prisons don’t allow blank journals — I know, right? Ridiculous rules!). It’s a great way for an inmate to keep track of the people he or she writes, too!

Sturdy cover. High quality paper. 120 pages.

Inmate Manipulation Decoded: A Definitive Guide to Understanding the Manipulation Process

by Anthony Gangi

We’d like to start out by saying most inmates are good people who made a mistake (or perhaps a few mistakes). The majority of prison pen pals sincerely enjoy making new connections and meeting new friends, and love exchanging letters and emails. If that weren’t the case, we never would have created PenPals.Buzz.

For many inmates, pen pals are their only connection to the outside world; they treat their pen pals like family. However, there is a small percentage of inmates who use manipulation tactics to get money, gifts, or other help from their pen pals. Originally written as a guide book to train correctional officers how to spot manipulation tactics from the inmates they look after, we’ve found this book to be useful for anyone who wants to make sure an inmate is being sincere and isn’t manipulating their way to a small fortune.

The author is an 18-year veteran in corrections and has been recognized nationally as a true advocate for law enforcement. He has been seen on CNN, ABC, CNBC, and Fox. The information inside of this book won’t be found anywhere else. If you’re having any doubts about your pen pal, this book will be the definitive guide.

Paperback. 132 pages.

Orange Prison Jumpsuit

Let’s face it — it sucks that your prison pen pal might be in a facility where he or she is required to wear a jumpsuit all day long. Imagine the joy on their face they see a picture of you wearing your own jumpsuit! What a great way to show your support to your incarcerated loved one.

  • UNISEX SIZING | Adult unisex sizing – from XS – L.
  • TWO POCKETS | Two pockets at front of hip on left and right, and are deep enough to hold a cell phone
  • NO PRINT | Intentionally left blank – feel free to wear as-is or add your own name, number, or customize for cosplay however you like
  • LIGHTWEIGHT | Durably woven, but lightweight fabric is comfortable with just a tank top underneath if worn indoors. Otherwise, is baggy enough to accommodate warmer layers beneath if worn outdoors in the cold
  • SPANDEX EXPANSION WAIST | These are baggy jumpsuits, but with a sewn-in spandex expander at the waist which expands to accommodate various body types

Wear it at home while you watch TV. Or, to truly show your support, wear your jumpsuit out in public for an adventurous trip to the grocery store. 100% Polyester. Machine washable.
