The mission of this website is to provide a vehicle which will allow prisoners/inmates the ability and
opportunity to be in contact with a large audience of people. It is believed that these pen-pal
relationships will provide encouragement, inspiration and hope to those who are incarcerated.
The letter-writing or pen-pal relationships developed and sustained as a result of this site can result in a
number of positive results. It is hoped those results will include the reduction of recidivism in inmates;
the development of positive influences on the life of an inmate; the furtherance of education of inmates;
and an improved sense of self-worth.
The positive results of these pen-pal relationships should allow an inmate, when released, to achieve
their highest potential and become a productive, caring member of the general society. In turn, they
may be encouraged to share their experiences with others and thereby help some younger person from
turning to a life of crime. This overall result will be a reduction in the prison population and a
reduction of the prison tax-burden on the American public.
