HOW TO WRITE LETTERS To Prison Pen pals

Your Male and female prison pen pals do not have access to a computer or the Internet so all  correspondence will be through the U.S. Mail.  Write to all of the ones that appeal to you. That way you don't take the chance of missing out on any one of them.

Your first letter should always present a general description of yourself. This would include your age, your height, your weight, your hair color, eye color your complexion and any other details that you care to describe. It is recommended that you mention your occupation or the kind of work you do. The inmates are always interested in your family and your special interests or hobbies.  We do not recommend giving out your phone number, especially on the first letter as the only method they can call is collect.  The collect calls from prison are usually at a very high rate. Many people feel safer using a post office box.

It is important that you personalize each letter that you compose for each individual.  It is very easy to discover if a person is sending out numerous letters to the ladies using a duplicated letter and changing only the name of the inmate. This is not a sincere effort and will not produce the desired results that you would hope for. It is also highly recommended that you prepare your letters on a computer or by using a typewriter. This makes it much easier for the ladies to read your letters. If you have a very neat and presentable penmanship then handwriting would be more personal. You will have to be the judge of which method you want to use. If the inmates were given a choice of how their letters were written they would usually choose the more personal handwriting method.

It is suggested that you include at a photograph in your first letter.
