I'm so grateful for writeaprisoner! I have met many wonderful inmates that are ready to change their lives and take the next step to become better people. I've been able to help pen pals connect with attorneys and civil leaders, provide them with resources for the betterment of their future and preparation for release, as well as be another form of support as they complete their sentence. Writeaprisoner is a great platform for everyone!
My stepson is in a California prison and asked me to look into this site. Even though it had a search feature by sex, race, and location that listed prisoners by their last name, after 15 clicks it sent me to the Cs and back to the Bs, kept reverting to Hispanic instead of African American, and sent me to the state website to actually locate him. It's worthless.

There are many pages nowadays who invite you to write prisoners, this one is surely not the worst... You just have to be careful what you say and have in the back of the head that you might be scammed for money or even just entertainment.
Tip for consumers:
Be mindful, and remember to apply the "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" saying....don't get your dreams up. And remember, since I am a male, as prettier the woman, as more replies they get.
Those people may even mean what they say, because of being locked up, yet as soon as the doors are open, things change so rapidly, you have no idea....

Alot of guys depend on this site for friendships or maybe romance.
Thank you Lee! We appreciate your feedback and your rating. We wish you much success in finding new pen friends.
I went on this website looking to just communicate with someone who just needed a good listener as well as a positive friend. I was writing this inmate since August 2021 and thought things were going great for the first 2 months. I made the mistake believing that he wanted to change he was calling daily and I thought he needed a person to listen to him, so I offered to help him he never ask for anything, I sent him money and open a account so he can call, but after the last Money ordered I sent him he stop calling for about a month so I figure that was that he lied about everything and he did call, but I was already over his $#*!. He just wanted my time and more money, but I told him what I thought about him and yes he sent a photo that was about 10 years ago so who knows what he looks like now. But please be careful and aware of some of these inmates because they shoot a lot of lies and can be very manipulating it makes it bad for the ones that are sincere. Just do not send money and be very careful because some are scammers.
Tip for consumers:
to be careful and aware of who you write to

Hello Renato,
Thank you for your time and support!
I love worshiping praising going to church working and just talking with people about God because he is good all the time so please please let me know if you want to chat

I love to keep others happy as long as they do the same thing. I'm a smooth guy just got to get to know me.
Tip for consumers:
I’m a very good man that love to enjoy life and get stuff in order
A great way to meet people to genuinely get to know. Also, a service like this helped me to meet some really cool friends when I was on the inside.
Thank you Maurice! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our website both inside and outside. We appreciate your support!
This website is the primary electronic link these people have to the outside. You can write an inmate an old fashioned letter and they will get it, but this is both quicker and about the same cost.
YES, these people all need money. Many are victims of an overly aggressive legal system. Most of these are very poor people that had to rely on the "Public Defender" because they nor their family had money for representation.
If your goal is to write someone and give them some peace in a system that exploits them, then understand this. Some will ask you for money or for "stamps" to write back and you should be prepared for this. A very few have been able to make enough money from their labors over the course of time to buy an allowed tablet for writing and music. But it takes a lot of time as their pay is less than minimum wage of the 1960s.
If you are writing to find a love of your life, or wanting naughty photos or naughty talk, you are here for the wrong reason.
You should be writing to them so that they can have some normalcy in their lives and you can help another person. Think of these people as soldiers of past wars that anxiously waited for an email from family and friends
Don't forget that no matter how bad your day was, theirs was lots worse.
I wrote several women strictly as penpals, and yes I bought stamps and telephone time for some. It was not expensive and the telephone time allowed the women to talk to their children and family. One was able to rejoin her children, another found herself a boyfriend and got married while she was inside. A third will never get out, but was a nice person to talk to.
So please write one and say hello, but remember that sooner or later you will need to help financially with stamps or with phone money.
Hello J. D.,
Thank you so much for your information and feedback. We appreciate it!
It's really great to have an app like this. They may be convicted. They can be good or bad people. But they deserve to laugh as much as we do
Tip for consumers:
Yazacağınız bir mektup. Oradaki bir insanı çok mutlu edebilir. A letter to write. It can make a person out there very happy.
Thank you Yasar. We appreciate your support.
The law created the prison to make a boundary between two groups of people. The site writeaprisoner.com is an unusual way to break that wall.
Hello Ivaylo. Thank you for your support in "breaking the wall". Working together we can continue to help those incarcerated and their loved ones.

Take this profile down' he's taking my hard earned money to go behind my back and do this! And we are scheduled for a family visit November 25th 2022. Elliott Singletary k*******

Thank you.
I contacted an 'inmate' just over 2.5 years ago. We've shared so much since. In September I'm flying to visit him for the first time. We don't talk about what landed him in prison we talk about everything else possibly imaginable. He's opened up my mind to how other people live, not only in prison but on the other side of the world. I'd be lost without him now. I thoroughly recommend 'Write A Prisoner'.
Hello,
Thank you Amanda. We appreciate your support and wish you many friendships.
Ho appena inviato una lettera e attendo una risposta ma credo sia un buon sito dove parlare con un ragazzo.
Hello and thank you Silvana P. We appreciate your support in writing to those incarcerated.
Great site and a wonderful cause! It's easy to navigate and helps thousands of people who would otherwise feel discarded by society.
Hello Greta,
Thank you for your support and time.
I sent a month ago and did not receive any response. How do I know that the message has been received. Today I sent a message to another person and I hope next month I will find a reply. I wish I could write even once a week
Knowingly letting inmates place ads with old pictures, and knowingly advertising inmates that they know are scamming. Most of the inmates on here this it their platform to get you! Its a shame because their getting away with it, like its just such a nice thing to write someone locked up thats how u feel, but they are on here for a reason. About 80-90% of these inmates are on here to get money from women, and this company knows it, they charge them, make money off of scamming, they should be closed down! If you notice its the same inmates over and over no celebs inmates no inmates that have money or a family, just inmates that need money and dont't have families, the penpals will get left by women or men that leave them, then they have to place ads over and over!
They do it because they need money! Their are no inmates that have power just inmates with none its a scam i know first hand don't fall for the " i love you " after two weeks its impossible to love someone that quick!
They are trained at this and train young people to do what they do! See the same inmate over and over he's a con man point blank and bet your $#*! he does not look like the pic as advertised! You've been warned!
Hello Lillian,
Thank you for your feedback. We have information on our FAQ page regarding writing inmates, and our policies promoting due diligence. Here is our FAQ page link: https://writeaprisoner.com/home/faq.
Great site for helping inmates get their lives back on track before release. Useful resources for friends and family too.
Hello L. G.,
Thank you for your support!
Allowing people to write to as many people as possible! A site where people are taken advantage of, a site where your PP can have multiple pen pals while the felon can promise each the sun, the moon and the stars and when you are not at their beck and call they have a back up person to fill the void.
Hello M.P.,
We do not and cannot limit the number of replies an incarcerated person receives while in prison. We do advise pen-pals against engaging in romantic relationships; instead, we encourage pen-pals to offer friendship and support.
Thank you.
If you want to find a friend to correspond with and give hope to, this is a good place. Don't get caught up in their drama, though. I prefer to write males on death row or who are doing life without parole. That way, I don't have to worry about them ever getting out, and they know I'm just a pen pal and not looking for romance.
Hello John,
Thank you for your support and your information.
Prison pen-pals, employment and housing opportunities for inmates upon release, self-help library, and so much more.
Thank you Kayla. We appreciate your support in writing those incarcerated. We know that connection is key to reducing recidivism for most inmates and can bring lifelong friendships for those inside and outside.
