A book to open. A letter to read. And the knowledge that somebody remembered you.

Safe, thoughtful correspondence
Before writing, check the facility's current mail and electronic messaging rules. Mail may be scanned or monitored. Do not assume privacy. Avoid sending personal financial details, making promises, or giving legal advice. Respect the other person's boundaries and do not expect quick replies. Never publish anyone's identity, prison number or letters without informed permission.
Writing to someone you do not know? Participate through an established, opt-in correspondence organization and follow its safety guidance. Prison 365 does not match strangers, verify pen pals, or collect prison addresses.
