I'm no Jesus to talk to sinners.

None of us are, but it would really cheer up someone and bring some light to an otherwise bleak life. Just think of the loneliest you've ever felt and multiply it by 1000x. That's what it's like to be incarcerated. They may have done something awful, but they're still human beings.

>>14849632
I'd be interested in conversing with highly intelligent psychopath.

>>14849613
Are there programs that set you up with one? Can you provide any links or resources? I'm interested.

>>14849613
can I sign up to mail a woman prisoner?

>>14849656
I just signed up with this one. It's specifically for prisoners in solitary confinement.

>>14849657
Now that's an idea.

>Implying that you would want to be in a romantic relationship with a woman in prison.
They are trashy and will only try to use you. Don't enable them in that regard.

>>14849689
Women are women, they do dumb things and sometimes have to serve a sentence for it.

Can you do this for Guantanamo Bay?

>>14849710
I don't see why not. As long as you know their prisoner ID you should in theory be able to send a letter to them. If they know english or are able to respond is an entirely different matter.

I am penpal with several cute japanese girls already

>>14849724
The girls in your visual novels don't count.

>>14849724
can't imagine a japanese girl writing a letter. especially to some icky gaijin

>>14849700
No they don't. If a woman is serving sentence there's something profoundly wrong with her.

>>14849730
>>14849739
I got 99 problems but a penpal aint one

>>14849892
I guess the emphasis should have been on girls and not women.

>>14849892
How old is she?

>>14849892
how old are you?

>>14849892
Anon is living the "Rivers Cuomo in the mid-90's" dream.

> On any given day in the United States, some 80,000 men, women, and children live in solitary confinement in the nation’s prisons and jails.
>children
what the fuck

>>14849892
かわいい。How'd you meet? Interpals?

>>14849892
Based desu.

>>14849639
lmfao based

>>14850828
people under the age of 18 can still rape and murder. it sounds brutal but rehabilitation is often impossible. I personally think it's more human to just kill these people, a life sentence can be much, much worse than a death sentence. It's probably like that 'longer than you think' part of "The Jaunt"

>>14850823
lmao

Hey, it's not a bad idea. But I don't want to tell a criminal where I live also I don't know how to start. You just go to the prison and ask there or what?

>>14849613
My housemate exchanged letters for a couple of years with a guy who was locked up in Florida, while we live in Bristol (England). In one letter he sent a Bristol Pound note as a curio because it had just been introduced as a local currency, but the letter + money was sent back with a note from the Florida corrections institution or whatever saying that no kind of money could be sent to the prison in the post. I thought this was funny because it would be legal tender only inside Bristol UK (and even then not everywhere), not 10 miles down the road in Bath and certainly not in a foreign country! But I suppose rules are rules. Thank you for reading my blog.

>>14849710
That's a great way to get yourself on a list.

>>14850823
GOD DAMN YOU HALF JAPANESE GIRLS
DO IT TO ME EVERY TIME

>>14849632
>they're still human beings

>>14850863

>>14850893
You are welcome.

>>14849661
>>14851100
Can you sign up if you don't live in the United States?

Can you talk to them about sex?

>>14851314
Yeah but they'll be able to tell you never had any

Only prisoner I'd be interested in writing is Uncle Ted and I don't want to get party vanned so that's not happening.

>>14849639
You can write to Ted.

>>14851357
He said psychopath, not contemporary philosopher.

>>14849689
So just like every other woman?

>>14851260
Email them and ask.

>>14849639
Supposedly Ted Kaczynski will respond to mail or at least he used to

>>14850755
The one of the letter? 28 some are 22
>>14850796

>>14850823
The what
>>14850837

>>14850841
Kawaii desu nee

>>14850846
solitary confinement should not even be legal

>>14849639
This. I wont write to some dindu

>>14849724
How do I repeat your great rest? I even know Jap but don't know where to start.

>>14852151
What if the prisoner is a threat to other prisoners, or other prisoners are a threat to them?

>>14852271
segregate aggressive prisoners from the regular ones.
I have a friend who went to prison for a sex crime and that's how they segregated protected prisoners. He told me that everyone avoid physical violence because otherwise they would end up with either the general population or violent sex offender

The amount of replies he can write a year is limited, some said 3 but I haven't seen any official source for that. He does receive each letter though
