Uh-huh.

OK, fess up. Who else went to the sites to see if you recognized anybody?

You know Uncle, you really should up your standards of the people you’ll fuck. 😉

Am I the only one here who thought Kelli was being sarcastic and not serious? At lease I hope so.

Oh, and Manny, I didn’t check to see if I knew anyone, I checked to see if I was there. Thank God I didn’t see myself.

You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit.

A buddy of mine might be doing some time this august for some drug charges (2-5 years)… maybe I should hook him up with one of these sites. Could be fun to buy and sell him…

Details magazine did a write up on these places a bit ago. They wrote a bunch of letters to girls and all they got back was requests for money. It’s sad to think that one can’t even find a decent human in a place that is supposed to make people reflect back on what they’ve done wrong and release them into a society ready to embrace them.

There is still the curious side of me that wants to write though. I’d only write the ones that said “Yup, I did it.” Which limits me to the prostitutes it looks like. Mabe they’ll give me a discount.

Requests for money? I would think requests for cartons of cigarets!

[meetaninmate.com](http://meetaninmate.com)? Interesting. Add to Shopping cart? Lets see, I’d like to order two assaults, one felony battery & one conviction for not showing for jury duty.

One of the girls there actually wrote this sentence:

I wasnt kidding. I feel truly sorry for these people. Go ahead and stamp sucker on me, but the day I cease to feel pity, just shoot me, I am already dead.

That pay-per-address site was really twisted. They have all the women sorted by age and race, and NO MENTION of what they did. Just like a dating site.

The one sited in the OP is run by (says so anyway) a reverends wife for the purpose of assisting in the rehabilitation of prisoners. I have read before that the ones with contact to family and friends are better prisoners, take part in more therapy/counselling etc, and generally have a better shot at ‘goodness’ when they get out. I wouldnt suggest that a pen pal can rehabilitate a death row killer, or a pedophile… but I saw ‘Green Mile’ and I watch ‘OZ’ and shitboy did some federal time 10 tears ago, and , well, I feel sorry for them.

I think something like this, properly done ca help inmates in a hopeless situation feel a little better. I dont think those ‘but-an-inmate’ ones are any good, but the one in the op seems to be decent enough.

That URL doesn’t work, android. And I was so looking forward to obtaining my own personal stalker, too.

Boy, do kids have it easy these days. Why, when I was in prison, I had to tap on the wall in my cell in morse code to make friends. I had to save my toenail clippings every month to feed some rats so I would have someone to talk to. And when I was in the hole, I all I had was the echoing sound of water dripping to keep me company. I had to ‘accidentally’ drop the soap in the shower so I could hold the hand of the guy anally raping me. No, we didn’t have the ‘internet’ or ‘TV’ or, or… ‘human contact’. This new generation makes me sick!
