WriteAPrisoner

WriteAPrisoner is a speciality site that allows people to correspond as pen pals with people in prison. The site doesn't have a member's area as such, but visitors can search for inmates by state, or using the search feature, that allows filtering by age, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

Lifers

It's also possible to specifically locate those on death-row, serving life sentences, as well as those willing to correspond with people living overseas. Inmates can receive books and vouchers, as well as cards from their pen pal or sponsor.

The site uses a paid credit system, where certain services (such as creating or maintaining a prisoner's profile) can be undertaken for a fee. This allows sponsors, pen-pals or relatives to maintain an inmate's presence on the site.

Safety of Daters

This is a very serious correspondence service, and there's an extensive set of contact rules and regulations that must be obeyed when using it. These are necessary to ensure the safety of those wishing to correspond with prisoners as well as to prevent inmates from using this as a communications channel between others behind bars.
