Wrote a Prisoner
Tagged Under : Friends, Networking
Well, I sent off my first letter to a prisoner last night. Went and got a PO Box for a bit of anonymity and typed up the letter, printed it, and mailed it.
I’ve wanted to do this for many years. I found someone on Write A Prisoner. I had wanted to be completely anonymous and do it through an email account, but that seems to be impossible at this point.
She’s young, but we had some things in common so I thought it would be a good start. I hope I don’t get murdered or something now.. I do worry about that a bit. But I do think I watch too many crime shows like CSI and Law and Order, and too many murder mysteries. So hopefully this is just a normal world thing and it will work out good.
Many of the men and women are looking for romance, I hope they will take a friend pen pal instead. No romance for me, I save that for my husband.
I think it’s great that you take the time to write to a prisoner. Who knows, you may make a difference in her life that helps her straighten herself out. You should be safe with a P O Box.

I can empathize with the hope of not getting murdered for doing something like that. You go out of your way to be nice to some people and sometimes they just take it for weakness. I suppose as long as you make sure not to discuss anything remotely personal with them you can rest assured. I can’t image who would want to visit a site like this looking for love, but I suppose the world can be a strange place, too.

Hi Chris, thanks for your comment. I don’t have any desire to help straighten anyone out, though. I can’t fix people, they have to fix themselves.

Hi perros, yes it is sad that that can happen. Hopefully it won’t happen to me!
