Join Prisoner Correspondence Project for the first of our monthly
letter-writing nights for outside penpals!

Cozy up with a warm drink in the backroom of le Cagibi (there will be
food and drink specials for the night!), meet other outside
participants in the project, and write some letters or get matched up
with a new penpal! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a seasoned
penpal through the project or you’re interested in getting matched up
for the first time.

Prisoner Correspondence Project collective members will be around to
chat about the project and available to talk about our experiences as
outside penpals, and to support you in any questions you might have
about your letters.

This will be the first of monthly letter-writing nights, the first
Monday of every month from 7-9:30 pm at Le Cagibi, 5490 St. Laurent, Montreal, QC.

We are always looking for new non-incarcerated folks to become
penpals! If you are interested, check out the get involved section of
the website and then get in touch!

Hope to see you there!

Last Friday of every month! http://www.prisonercorrespondenceproject.com/http:/www.prisonercorrespondenceproject.com/sample-post http://www.prisonercorrespondenceproject.com/http:/www.prisonercorrespondenceproject.com/sample-post#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:59:28 +0000 admin http://www.prisonercorrespondenceproject.com/?p=1551 It’s official! We’re launching an open house series the last Friday of every month between 12 and 3pm.

Spend a Friday afternoon curled up in QPIRG’s sunny lounge and get to know the Prisoner Correspondence Project! Join members of the collective as we work on filling requests made by our incarcerated pen-pals. Our waiting list of folks inside prison who are requesting a pen-pal is long and getting longer, and we are actively looking for new people outside prison who are interested in corresponding.
Mark your calendars, we’ll be around February 24th, March 30th and onwards. Drop by, read through letters, find yourself a pen-pal or help us send out resources from our library. Also, if you have any questions regarding involvement in the project or your current pen-pal relationship, this would be a great time to come by and talk.

QPIRG is located at 1500 de Maisonneuve W. Suite 204. (Metro Guy-Concordia).

Each year, the Prisoner Correspondence Project does a holiday mailout to its 200+ members incarcerated over the holidays. To help cover costs, we sell the extra cards to supporters and friends of the project.

This year’s card was again designed by the exceedingly talented noam lapid. Cards are 4″x 5.5″, come in packs of five with envelopes, and are blank inside with the project’s address and website on the back. The cost is a sliding scale depending on ability to pay: $5-10 for those in Montreal, $6-10 for those needing them to be mailed.

To order, write to us at info@prisonercorrespondenceproject.com and we’ll get a pack to you. Out-of-towners can pay via our website – visit the donate section.
