DOYOU WRITE TO ANYONE IN PRISON?

  Author: 25896  Category:(Discussion) Created:(2/9/2001 6:37:00 AM)

hi all do you write to anyone behind bars? I got a book out of the library today about prison life. I know they deserve it for what they have done. Thank goodness I have never been there. Some of the stories I noticed as I was flicking through seem so sad and terrifying. One young man who got 10 years for drugs and robbery, well the first night he was there he says the Prison Officers themselves opened his cell door and let 6 other prisoners in and they raped him and beat him almost to death. Some people might say for what he did he deserved it, but thank God it wernt me thats all I can say. He says virtually the whole time he was in Prison he had a person that used to write to him and they met up and now hes out hes married to the lady who wrote to him all the time. He said if it wernt for her letters after what happened to him in Prison he would of killed himself. So i was thinking maybe i might try it i believe everyone deserves a second chance and i might cheers someone up. So if anyone knows any addresses i could maybe find out some details of how to goabout it ide love to hear. Or better still if you actually do already write to someone in Prison ide love tohear from you too thanks all xxxxx

Date: 2/9/2001 6:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 17688    i write to a good freind of mine once a week, he is in prison for stealing a car and wrecking it into a 7 11.  
Date: 2/9/2001 7:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 12941    I think it is a great idea as long as you're cautious. Use a P.O. Box rather than a physical address and never give too much detail about yourself. Do a generic search on the web for "prison pen pals" and you are sure to find what you're looking for..I have seen many sites for that. *Sprockette*  
Date: 2/9/2001 7:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 8941    I agree with the above statement. Just be cautious about it.  
Date: 2/9/2001 9:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 18781    I agree with the replies saying to just be careful. I would also choose a pen pal that was in for minor offenses. I wouldn't feel safe writing to a rapist or a murderer. Aester  
Date: 2/9/2001 10:18:00 AM  From Authorid: 24924    I see no problems with writing to family members who are incarcerated, but just for someone to CHOOSE TO WRITE to any prisoner, A stranger, is inviting T R O U B L E. Find someone to correspond with in many other areas, such as singles groups, get a list of servicemen from one of the armed forces, Army, Navy, etc..or talk to friends in the church who may have a relative out of state who is interested in a pen pal, or someone from USM , LOL. Just don't take the great risk of corresponding to inmates. I've read about too many people getting taken advantage of, and or ripped off. The Thinker  
Date: 2/9/2001 11:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 5061    If i were you,no,these people behine bars prey on people such as you and I,before long,if you start to write,pretty soon,ther will need,stamps,or a goody box,such as shoes,clothing,socks,underware,etc,problem is,then if you send these items,the prisoner will most likely,swap it for drugs,cigarettes,sell for money,it's a racket,and the guards know all about it.but that is your desision,personally,I would not.you could be bringing in a lot of problems.  
Date: 2/9/2001 11:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 5061    ME,again,i do agree with,Thinker,family member,ok.A total stranger,NO.it's bad/news from git/go.  
Date: 2/9/2001 1:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 11756    No, I don't write to anyone in prison ...White Lightning  
Date: 2/9/2001 2:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 5940    I agree with Star Two, there in prison for a reason.  
Date: 2/9/2001 11:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 23714    BELIEVE ME!!! MOST>>NOT ALL, ARE CON-ARTISTS. I WAS WRITING TO 5 AT ONE TIME. (MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR I ONLY WANTED PEN-PALS) AS YOU WOULD HAVE IT, ALL OF THEM WANTED ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS. THEY ALL SAID "I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU" THEY ALL SAID "UH BY THE WAY, DO YA THINK, YA CAN COME SEE ME SOME TIME? AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, CAN YA SEND ME, A CARE PACKAGE WHILE I AM WAITING FOR YOUR VISIT. WELL, MY ANSWER>>I THINK NOT!! i HAD A BOYFRIEND, THAT GOT BUSTED, I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR A YR. WITH VISITS EVERY OTHER WEEK-END. AND WHEN HE GOT OUT, 3 DAYS LATER, HE WAS DOING THE SAME THING. SO NOPE, FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH WRITING TO INMATES, I LEARNED MY LESSON.>> THANKS FOR POSTING. LOVE ANGIE.  
Date: 2/10/2001 2:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 5061    ANGIE,you are so right,when i worked at out local news/paper,several inmates placed an ad,wanting people to write to them.they claimed they were so lonely,no family,the general bull,one of my co-worker's fell for the shuck and bull.Before long,the inmate was asking for money,so he could by stamps,so he could continue to write to her.Then somehow he got her phone number,he was calling collect,when she refused, after getting tired of his demands,things got ugly.when my co-worker finally contacted the warden,to put a stop to some of the harrasment,she found out,instead of stealing a car,and petty thief,he was in for attempeted murder,robbery,and beating his grandmother nearly to death.As i stated before,its a con,scam,racket,best to not get involve.You could be biteing off more than you can chew.******Sincerely  
Date: 2/10/2001 7:21:00 AM    Unfortunately, not everyone in prison deserves to be there. You hear about innocent people finally, after years and years, being let out because of new evidence and such. But, there are people in prison who are manipulative and will use you for everything they think they can get. If you do decide to write, I would be very cautious. Unfortunately, there is no real way of knowing if they are sincere or not. I write to my uncle, and I know my letters help him to get through the things he has to endure every day. I don't know if I would write a stranger, though. Good luck! *hugs* Tammy #4739
Date: 2/10/2001 3:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 9605    I think it may be too dangerous...just depends on what type of prison and inmate I would write to..  
Date: 2/11/2001 12:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 19927    Last year i used to write to my now ex-boyfriend who was in prison for robbery and possession of marijuana.We don't keep in contact anymore.thank god. *CC*  
Date: 2/15/2001 9:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 27665    please read my article . Yes I do write to someone in prison and was in prison myself. Now I write to my husband and this is how we are having a relationship. Bur I believe that if a person is in prison and truly focus on changing themselves then the thought for sucide will be the last hing on ther emind. I thank God that my husband has began to set boundaries for himself about whats going on out in the real world,because behind the walls in just another society inside of a society.
Date: 2/17/2001 11:17:00 AM  From Authorid: 21673    In having experience with someone in prison, I would also reccommend absolutely NOT getting involved with someone in prison by writing them to lend comfort.
I personnaly know many women that ruined their lives starting with just this same thinking."They are so handsome, and so attentive and intelligent and nice, and they really weren't involved in the crime,and a romantic relationship develops so easily.It is NOT real!!!
There a church groups that let adults visit and wirte. Leave it to them. I could write a book on the stories I have. But please, do not get involved with any, and I mean anyone in prison. It is just a whole different world than you really need to know. Thank goodness! Put your good heart out towards children that are in need of direction and support so that they do not end up with prison as a future.
  
Date: 2/17/2001 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 21137    I've written long letters to family members and to strangers while they were in prison. Never once have I had any of them ask me to send them anything other then a picture of myself. And yes, people go to jail for committing crimes, but some of those "crimes" aren't all that bad. I once knew a man who was in prison for killing his daughter's rapist.. While he was there, his wife decided that she needed to move on with her life. If you're really interested in finding a pen pal go to Yahoo Personals, and type the word prison into the search box. They're are usually ten to fifteen in there that are recent. But if you do this, make sure that the letters are sent to a POBOX and don't send anyone anything until you're sure that you know them well enough to be giving them ANYTHING... good luck  
Date: 2/17/2001 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 21137    P.s. I know, from stories of family members, that the prison rapes, gang beatings, ect all really happen..  
Date: 2/17/2001 7:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 24404    they have a web site called "stop prison rape" and there is a poem written by a guy named Donald (Donny) the poem will tear your heart its titled "The Seventh Rapist"...I read one book one time on prison life...never again...its too horrifying for me! My nephew was in prison and I believe he shouldn't have...at 16 he climbed a water tower, fell off and got hurt, the tower is government property, no Scott had never been in trouble before but he was sent to boot camp and had weekends off, at 17 he was late coming back and they put him in a minimal prison and they kept him there for 3 years! Yes you say...he had to have done something worse for that punishment! well...NO! He was repeatedly raped beaten tortured...his jaw was wired together and being the tiny frame guy he was he became a man's woman or PUNK as they say in prison terms! The guards are not much different from the in mates...everyone behind the walls are vicious predators! Scott is now 27 with a wife and child he is living happy but work for an x-con?....its a shame what our justice system is about...murders get out early, petty crimes pay the time...and many many innocent men are slowly but surely getting out with DNA evidence....its just a shame!...maryjane  
Date: 2/20/2001 1:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 27777    Yes I would do it too! But be careful! So are weird. If I were you I would call your local jail and ask about it!  
Date: 2/28/2001 6:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 28858    Not all is bad. I have been involved with Kairos prison ministry since 1995. Not all prisoners are bad and not all guards are predators. Find a Kairos ministry near you, and get involved. Its a real eye opener. Go to Kairos.Com out of Orlando, Fla and they can give you information about where these kairos prison ministries are. A real eye opener and a heart changing experience. it's great to be able to communicate with men, who know what they have done, and are repentant and do make life changing efforts for themselves and fellow prisoners in a prison setting. We now have some 500+ Christians inmates in our prison and life is a lot different. Even lives are guards are being changed as a result of these Christian inmates. God speed and remember it is in "God's time" not ours. Chicopae
Date: 3/4/2001 6:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 28228    Don't do it!! I speak from experience. They are mostly all con "artists" and every caution you have already been given (before my comments) should be taken to heart. They will tell you anything you want to hear from how they have "Found Jesus" to how wonderful it is that they found you. Stay away...far,far away. PLEASE!!!
Date: 3/9/2001 6:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 23319    No, sorry, but if i was to write to someone behined bars, my luck would be that he would get out somehow and kill me! ms_chat_a_lot  
Date: 3/16/2001 7:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 29730    I don't think I would write anyone in prison unless after I wrote them and they were about to
get out i would move and i would never give them a pic you know
Date: 3/24/2001 7:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 31280    My daughter received calls from a prison. Also had a friend in prison, who told me about this kind of behavior. If I told you, you might not get a good nite's rest for a while. Stay away!
Date: 3/27/2001 9:52:00 PM    Most are phedophiles
Date: 4/12/2001 1:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 32613    Hi, i think everyone deserves a second chance no matter what they did. But if they blow that chance then it's tough luck for them. I know because i have gotten introuble with the law before (nothing too serious) and i know that's not who i am and i deserved a second chance, guess what? I got it. =) I'm better than before and that experience helped me in so many ways that i can't describe with words.....i think u should find someone to write to in prison, it may help them and even make u think twice about judging ppl that are in jail or prison or whatever (i'm not saying that u do judge ppl) so anyway goodluck!!  
Date: 4/16/2001 3:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 32319    I just got out of prisons and even tho I didn't have to endure any physical abuse I was very sad and lonely. I have addresses of both men and women that would certianly appreciate your letters.e-mail me at animmmal@hotmail.com for the addresses Nina
Date: 4/24/2001 3:09:00 AM    no i don'r
Date: 4/25/2001 4:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 33879    no id be scared to
