Thank you! for visiting this website and writing to a penpal in prison.

We hope these tips will helpful when writing your first letter.

1)Keep your first letter "chatty";you can write about your hobbies, interests, favourite movies, music etc. If your penpal has listed his/her hobbies and interests on their Ad you can respond to those.

2) State your objectives in writing to your penpal. If you are seeking purely friendship make this clear from your first letter.

3) Don`t divulge a lot of personal information, details of family, friends, your work place etc. As in all new friendships you enter into, it takes time to establish trust.

4) We advise you to use a PO Box

5) Avoid asking a lot of questions straight-up about your penpal`s crime.

6) Prisoners have all their most basic needs met by the prison. If you do wish to send money or other items, check first with your penpal or the prison as to what is allowed.

7) Be cautious of penpals who may ask you for money or goods.
If you feel you may be getting played, then you probably are!
