Writing Letters!

You can learn a lot about the challenges within the system through conversations with pen pals.  This is truly radical activism as you can actually touch other people’s lives…people who can really benefit from a connection to true humanity, vs. ‘programs’, interventions, missionaries and other forms of ‘charity’.

Lost Vault

Since September 2003, LostVault has been dedicated to maintaining a free place for incarcerated people to find pen pals, and for you to find them. Unlike many of the other prison pen pal sites, we do not charge you OR the incarcerated person this service as long as the ad is posted via the internet by a loved one or friend. For ads posted by our staff, there is a nominal $10 fee (updated 02/01/2015) for prisoners who are not on death row, who receive free ads. http://lostvault.com/penpals/main.asp
