Inmates are pretty much the same kinds of people as in the free world overall.

Telephone calls by inmates are very, very expensive.

If you correspond with an inmate for a long, long time, they may ask you for your telephone number.

Be aware that, through no fault of your pen pal, your address could wind up in another inmate’s hands.

If you do not want your letter given to another inmate, say so.

For whatever reason, an inmate may choose not to respond.

Most, if not all states prohibit inmates exchanging letters.

From the beginning, make it clear you will not forward a letter from them to another inmate.

The stamps help the correspondence and they can use them for barter. Be sure of the facility policy……state differs from federal….states differ from each other.

When corresponding with inmates, it is helpful to them to offer stamps from time to time.

It is best not to correspond with two inmates at the same facility or within the same state, because of transfers where they could eventually end up at the same institution.

If you correspond with an inmate held in the state you live in, they will ask you to visit.

Many inmates are happy someone helps make their day a bit better. In most cases, they appreciate the honesty.

Others prefer a pen pal who could be a part of their lives after release. Some female inmates are quite happy to have pen pals as much as 25 years older than they are. Be up front if there is a significant age difference between you and your potential pen pal.Assure the inmate you will not write a couple of letters, then disappear.

Expect to be writing for the long haul if the inmate is going to be held another couple of years. Check outdates if possible on state prison websites.Some hints and tips when writing to inmates
