Every day, over two million prison inmates sit in their cells waiting for the mail to arrive. For many, letters and packages are their only contact with the outside world and their only reminder that there is more to life than what they experience in prison. Many of these prisoners will be left empty-handed when the mail is delivered because they have no one who takes the time to keep in touch with them.

2  Improve Social Skills - Inmates are more likely to successfully reintegrate into society when they are able to maintain and improve their social skills with folks from the outside. Becoming prison pen pals is an excellent way to do that.

2  Giving the Gift of Hope - It's amazing how a small amount of communication with the outside world can improve a prisoner's outlook on life.

3  Being a Motivational Presence - Your letters are sure to motivate and encourage your pen pal and remind him that he truly deserves a second chance.

Before You Begin
