  • ALREADY A PENPAL?
    • 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?
