Hi there! My name is Gavon, I'm 25, and I've been incarcerated for eight years now. It's dawned on me recently that something is missing in my life. Although I keep myself active physically, as well as busy with work and college, I find myself desiring good conversation with someone whom I can be myself with.
I wouldn't say I'm looking for a romantic relationship, but I am looking for…
Hello World, my name is Ruben. I am originally from Sacramento, CA. Unfortunately, due to my previous choices and decisions, I currently reside in the California Department of Corrections. Prison has never painted a pretty picture. However, the experiences have given me plenty of time to think and grow.
I see the world through a much cleaner lens than I once did. I appreciate the little…
I feel like if you don't take chances and go for it in the moments you feel it, then you will forever wonder what could've been! I don't want to be that person that regrets the things I didn't say, didn't do, or the decisions I failed to make! That thought alone has led me to try something new. Here is where I landed! I appreciate you showing interest in my profile.
I'm a funny, down-to…
I’m an innocent man fighting to be released.
I’m just looking for a friend that I can converse with. I’m very open-minded. I love to joke, have fun, and learn new things. I’m open to learning about different cultures.

Hey there, my name is Luke and I’m 38 years old. I spend most of my time exercising and working out, lots of burpees in the morning (every morning), and I do strength training and cardio in the afternoons. When I’m not doing that, I enjoy reading books to educate myself, and I have also taken up writing and journaling to help ease my mind when I’m feeling stressed.
I’m a down-to-earth…

What are prison pen-pals? Prison pen-pals are inmates who exchange letters with non-incarcerated pen-pals. Inmates have been turning to our WriteAPrisoner.com program since its inception in 2000 to seek correspondence and, within their profiles, to express interest in mentorship, legal assistance, educational opportunities, employment upon release, housing options, and other reentry-related topics. We post profiles, photos, and contact information of inmates. You, the viewer, can then select which prisoners you would like to correspond with, both men and women, after viewing personal (interests, goals, etc.) and public (crime, release date, etc.) information.
Once you have selected a prison pen-pal to correspond with on our app, you have the option of sending your first message free of charge. Contact with prison pen-pals is then maintained via postal mail or programs like CorrLinks, GettingOut, JPay, and Securus Technologies. Inmates cannot access their WriteAPrisoner.com profiles online in any capacity. We are a pen-pal website only. Inmates pay for pen-pal profiles. That income is used for operating costs as well as our Scholarships, Welcome Home Kits, Reintegration Profiles, and other community programs intended to support successful reentry. Payment for a profile does not guarantee correspondence or responses from members.
Research shared on our Why WriteAPrisoner page and the Federal Bureau of Prisons suggests that maintaining positive outside contacts and pro-social connections may be associated with improved post-release outcomes. Inmates from county jails, state prisons, federal prisons, on death row, and in rehabilitation centers across the country have posted profiles, often describing each letter they receive as a wire of hope. We also have prisoners listed from outside of the United States. Individual outcomes vary. WriteAPrisoner does not guarantee any specific result or outcome from participation.
You can conduct an inmate search of inmates not listed on our website by using our Inmate Locator. We also encourage you to visit our Prison Forum to engage with other members about related topics, such as what to expect when you meet an inmate, death row, correspondence, visitation, different departments of corrections, and more.
