Prisoner Correspondence Project – a support project for gay, queer, and trans prisoners

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.
