Have you ever thought you could make a difference to an inmate in need? At Inmate-Connection, our goal is to help you form a meaningful connection with an inmates all over the country and all over the world through our prison pen pal service. The United States harbors thousands of inmates alone, and many of these lonely inmates are simply looking for companionship while serving out the remainder of their sentences. Isolation can have serious side effects on a person’s mental health. Prisons are forced to live each day behind dull and dreary walls, with very little contact with the outside world. Often times, the inmate’s communication with their own family is limited, if existent at all. The companionship created by our prison pen pals service is to inspire hope, show compassion for these inmates, and to leave a long lasting and impactful connection for both you and your prison pen pal.
With very little contact with the outside world, maybe you want to write an inmate and keep them informed with the ever changing modern world. You may want to write your prison pen pal to bring them joy and to give them something to look forward to. Rest assured that your contribution will be cherished by your prison pen pal. Remember, that these inmates have emotions too, and nobody deserves to be isolated. Having a caring companion to talk with and share their experience with will be a crucial part of the rehabilitation process. Staying in tune with the outside world, and having a positive relationship while in prison will help them to re-enter society as a more responsible and compassionate member when their sentence is over.
