    • FAQ’s
      • I don’t know how to get started or what to say.
      • We don’t have anything in common. What do I do?
      • We’ve been corresponding for a while now, and I just don’t think we’re a good match.
      • Is it appropriate to ask why they’re in prison?
      • Do you do background checks on your inside penpals?
      • I don’t identify as LGBTTQ. Can I still participate?
      • I identify differently than my penpal. Is this an issue?
      • Are there things I shouldn’t talk about when corresponding with my penpal?
      • A lot of the materials prepared by the Prisoner Correspondence Project seem to communicate a more political or more radical perspective than I feel comfortable with; do I need to agree with the outlook of your organization to become a penpal?

INREACH/OUTREACH

* OUTREACH INSIDE PRISONS – We are in the process of stepping up our outreach efforts into prisons across Canada. If you have any contacts with people or organizations that do work on the inside, and would be willing to put us in touch, that would be great. Contacts with people who work within prisons can also be useful in this regard.

* FINDING NON-INCARCERATED PENPALS – We are always trying to find new penpals on the outside to respond to our ongoing requests from folks inside prisons. If you are able to help out with any outreach among outside communities, this is an area we are always in need of help with. Outreach within gay, lesbian, transsexual / transgender, queer communities especially needed.
