This first vlog of the My Prison Pen Pal project shows the letter I have written for my first choice of future pen pal.
I’ve actually chosen to write two different women serving time in California who stated she was looking for friendship with women and men. As far as I could tell from their website bio’s on prisoninmates.com and prisonpenpals.com, both of the women were as approachable as I could tell and as they were not looking for donations or romantic relationships, they should have every intention to write back to me.
From conversations with my case study Kristy, it can often take a month or so for the letters to get there and replies sent back, so I won’t get my hopes up of any post arriving for my until the new year. Also as mentioned in the vlog above, I have put my return address as the student union address so no one will have my home address, so I’ll have to wait till new term as well.
Fingers crossed I get a reply.
