Would you consider being a pen pal (or more) with a prisoner?

I used to be a pen pal with a few inmates when I was younger. It ended as each were either released or just stopped writing.

Not if I didn't already know them.

Why? Maybe to feel like what it would be like to get scammed during the good old days before the internet and telemarketers?

Sure,why not?

Maybe. It would depend on the crime they committed, and where they are located.

Pen pal? online or snail mail? and it does depend on what you're in for. I have a younger brother who was imprisoned for 5 years because of a gambling issue. He committed robberies to keep his wife finding out about it. I would consider if online, but need more information re your issue.

It's called voyourism. If that's what you are into, fair enough. No judgement here. ?

Don't, I had a good friend that was in prison and he had someone else write to me. He dictates a letter to another prisoner, with my home address. It got pretty fucking ugly between the two of us, I felt like I had to move my girlfriend and kids out of our house.

I had a po box for it...never your home addtess

@gigihein, Never again

@Anniemae, really it was some messed up shit, our twins were about a year old at the time, maybe I'm just paranoid, but this guy gave my info out to another inmate, not cool. This guy was like my father, he knew better.

Dont do it....

I did when I heard about the prison ashram project..they would send books free..alternative to Christian outreach.. one of my favorite documentaries is "The Dharma brothers" very moving...but I am a social worker and just like to get to know a diverse group of people.

@gigihein be careful...

@Buddha I was over 30 years ago..my job is more dangerous.

@gigihein tell me more ... 🙂
