Let me say that I am not knocking anyone but I am curious.

What was it that made you decide to be a penpal, friend and or wife with someone who was already incarcerated that you never met before? I'm even more curious about those of you who's guys are in for many years or even life.

How did you guys get introduced?

Glod bless your hearts. Everyone deserves a chance at love and hope for a brighter tomorrow!

I went thru a pen pal search. I go to the same site i figured that men are inmates are people to. We all have our faults. It is no different then meeting strangers off the internet and dateing services. You can not help who you fall in love with.

I met my guy through a penpal site. I never really intended to have a penpal, let alone find the love of my life. It just happened. Fate. Im on my way to the airport right now to catch a flight to GA to see him! Im very excited!

Girl...i couldn't have said it any better.:) I met my man off "meet-an-inmate" and something just drew me to him like a magnet. They're humans just like us and deserve to be loved also. When they're in prison (one of their lowest points in life) they really need people the most. I never intended it to be more than friends but it just happened. I wouldn't take nothing for him now though.:p

I actually started writing to my man because he and my brother were locked up in reception together and my brother gave him my address to keep in touch with him. I wrote because a lot of people that are locked up have no one to stand by them or even write them simple letters to see how they are. One thing led to another and here we are now more in love than ever. Prisoners are people too who happened to make a mistake or two in their lives and are paying for them. I guess it's just one of those things that you have to experience before passing judgement (not insinuating that anyone is passing judgement). I bet that most of us who have met our significant others or friends or whatever they may be, would never have thought that we would be in the situation that we are in now.

:) I met my man through a friend. We started out as friends. He wanted it to be more after a couple of months of talking on the phone everyday but I was scared of getting into another relationship. But as time went by I realized that he is the man that I want to be with. We have been together for almost 2 years now. I still have not seen him face to face but hopefully soon. I cant wait. I love him so much. :D

I had recently gotten myself out of a bad relationship and was having the time of my life, going out with friends, dating, and just having a good time in general when one day a stranger in our local county jail misdialed a family members number and got me, literally. I answered thinking it was my exboyfriend and I wanted to give him a piece of my mind. Instead I put a call through for him as it felt like the right thing to do for another human being. When he was finished with his family business we chatted for a few minutes and he asked if he could call me sometime and I told him he could.

We wrote, talked on the phone, he was transferred to prison and after a few months of this we were falling in love. I no longer had a taste for going out, was rejecting dates left and right because I wasn't in the mood. I went to meet him face to face for the first time in a crowded prison visiting room and the moment he walked in I said to myself, "There's my man!"

After 14 months he was released on parole and we continued the journey together. We had our ups and downs, the conditions of parole really took its toll and after 16 months of freedom he went back to prison and will max out. The good news is that we are doing this together and he will be home in only a few months off paper, DOC-free and alot sooner than if he had stayed out in the "semi-free" world.

One takes a huge leap of faith going into these types of relationships as they are filled with obstacles but the same can be said for any relationship. I always say that communication is key to any successful relationship and that has been a huge factor in our case. We are not perfect but we are strong ~ TOGETHER!

All the best,
Patty

Staying on topic ... sort of, what is the best pen-pal site to use? Ken's friend would love a pen-pal. I put him on the list here quite some time ago but he hasn't heard from anyone. I would love to find him a pen-pal.

I was a guard working at a mens jail in avoyelles parish when i met my love of my life. He was a trustee working in the kitchen. We began talking knowing that if we got caught there would be trouble knowing that we were not suppose to do that, for two reason one i was the captains daughter and two he was black and they are very racial. Charles and I talked for six months then I decided to quit transportation for a better job with benefits and better pay. Upon quitting they found out that Charles and I were talking at that moment they start picking on him putting him in lock down. On visitation day I went see him when it was over they waited for me to leave then they hurried up and transported him from the jail to another. I feel that what they did was wrong I LOVE Him :( . Charles gets out in five are six months. What do you think that I should do? I would also like to know how could we get married in jail in Winnsboro, is it possible? :confused: I Love Charles Help Me Please

First of all, I feel you can't help who you fall in love with. Now I have know my man since we were kids. He had been incarcerated before. We became involved intimately about a month before he got locked up a second time. I found out we were pregnant after. We married within the system a year after our baby was born. We have been unbreakable every since.

I went searching for a guy I used to write whom was on death row (I met him through a project on minors getting the death penalty)... his execution date was approaching and I wanted to check in and see how he was doing. I ended up seeing my boyfriend on a penpal site while hunting for the other guy and he just seemed SO familiar. I bookmarked him and it took me a few weeks but I discovered he seemed familiar because I knew him in elementary school and recognized the name :p I wrote and here we are 3 years later, in love...

I met my husband while he was in the county jail where I worked as a nurse. Unbeknowst to me, he had been watching me for 5 months. He asked me out on a date. (I will admit, I turned him down, but he was persitant.) He was headed to another facility for court that very day...after a few days talking on the phone we found out bond got denied. By then, the seed had been planted...the rest is history. We have been together 23 months........married for 5 months and he comes home in 7 months!!!!

Mine is kinda complicated but if you are really interested i will share my story with you.
Ten years ago my best friend asked me if i would be willing to write to her husbands brother who was in prison. I knew nothing about him at the time. He was lonely and his wife and he were getting a divorce and he just wanted someone to pass time with. I said what the heck and we started a wonderful friendship. During this time, i was also introduced to his other brother... we ended up in a relationship and my man (pen pal then) ended up working things out with his wife. We have continued to write over the years on a regular basis. In 2002 his wife finalized their divorce once and for all and it was very devestating to him. In 2005 my marriage to his little brother was also coming to and end. By this time, we were the best of friends and had been through hell and back together...i was having a hard time with my ex and write him for support. At around the same time, his ex wife was diagnosed with liver cancer. All through this time he was still very much in love with his wife. She went very quickly and without him ever getting to say good bye to her. He was at his lowest point and really worried about his two children. One of which i was very close too. So i wrote him and said how sorry i was and that his son had been to the house for a visit on the way to see his mom before she passed. When he wrote me, he was totally devestated by the death of his ex. He was ready to give up and i was really worried about him. So i sent him a letter every day and tried to get him out of his depression. He in turn began to write to me every day as well. We had always written but not this excessivly. As time has passed we decided that we were always meant for one another and that the situation each of us was in at the time had stopped it. For whatever reason....One day i just up and wrote him a letter and asked him if he had feelings for me. He called me the same day he recieved the letter and told me he had loved me for ten years. So needless to say here we are and neither of us could ask for better than what we have together. It was as if god had a hand in all of this and it was meant to be. I would and couldnt ask for any one else to love me the way he does. I adore him and plan to spend the rest of my life with him. so although it was a strange relationship in the start it was the true beginning of my life....Now i am finally complete. so this is my story... It was only supposed to be a pen pal relationship with a guy who was lonely and in prison and look i found my soulmate. Go Figure......

I "met" my boyfriend 3 years ago...

We were introduced by my cousin who was serving time at the same facility. When my cousin asked me to write this guy, I wasn't so sure...I didn't think I wanted any part of it, but since I had a lot of time on my hands since I had recently dropped out of college, moved to a new town and had yet to find work, AND since it was a favor to my cousin, I decided to go ahead with it. Over the course of the past 3 years, we both discovered we had feelings for each other...Things just happened...You can't help where the heart leads you. We have yet to meet face to face, and we're not taking this relationship too seriously until after we get a chance to meet face to face and spend some time together on the outside.

When I met Ray I was a CO at the facility where he was. At first, he and I didn't talk much. I had become close to a couple of inmates there and the night that they transferred they had told Ray that he needed to watch my back and so he did. Over the next few months he and I became very close and started having very intense feelings for one another. Then we both realized that we could no longer deny the fact that we had fallen in love with each other. He is my best friend and my soulmate. I will alway's and forever be Ray's Angel. I love this man more that I could have ever imagined was possible.

EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS SAID INMATES ARE PEOPLE TOO. I HAVE BEEN WRITING TO THEM FOR 16 YEARS AND NEVER HAVE I FOUND SOME ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE SPIRTUALLY, EMOTIONALY AND DEDICATED ON WRITING EVERYDAY. (UNTIL HE GOES INTO HIS PHRASE OF NOT WRITING). THE OTHER DIFFERENCE IS WE DIDN'T FALL IN LOVE RIGHT WAY, WE ACTUALLY TOOK TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND A HALF HE STARTED TO TELL ME HOW HE FELT. oN NEWS YEARS HE CALLED ME AND SAID HAPPY NEWS YEARS LETS GET THIS NEW YEARS A START BY TRYING ONE STEP HIGHER AND BE TOGETHER. mIND U BE I NEVER HEARD HIS VOICE. HIS ADDRESS WAS PASSED THROUGH ME BY MY BEST FRIEND. WE BOTH MENTION THAT WE WEREN'T EVEN GOING TO WRITE BUT THIS STRONG CONNECTION WE SEND EACH OTHER A LETTER AND JULY 8, 2006 WE ARE ENGAGED.

I met mine through a pp site. It is however much better if you have a friend who knows a nice honest guy in need of a pp.

Many of the guys at pp sites are players and I would never recommend it cause you don't know til it's too late.

My sister's husband, asked me if I wanted to write his younger brother while he was doin his time, as I had been single for some months...and his brother was lookin for someone to chat with. (I knew right away he was tryin to hook us up...LOL) So, I said, "Why Not! Only have one life to live! Might as well have fun and keep it interesting!" I entered into the pen pal thing with an open mind...and it's proved to behoove me...in so many ways, it would be hard to list them all. I can say that we fell in love. It happens, ya know? LOL And, I refuse to judge a book by its cover. I'm the girl, who'll blow the dust off it....open it, read it once...stop think about it...then re-read it again...especially if the story was good! Lets just say Nate's story was good...and thats all I need to be with him. As far as his sentence...and time in...I know he'll ge released with time... the waiting is the hard part! LOL But, there are things we do to keep positive! And, so far...so good! Just remember ~ True love stands the test of time~ and that its all a matter of perspective. I make a conscious decision every day to think positive...and its been the "key" (for me)...in getting through, even the toughest of days, for the most part (and this is only because I realize I am only human...and as humans we ALL are fallible!) LOL

There are good and bad people on both sides of the walls.
I met my man through a pp site and he is most definitely NOT a player. I love this man to pieces and know that he feels the same way. :love::dance::love:
Just because you had a bad experience Foxylady you should not tar all inmates with the same brush. :nono:
There are many men and women incarcerated that are in need of a friend. Comments like this may put people off writing to a genuine person. Thats not fair is it? :no:

My man had an ad on a website, but I didn't look at his ad until we had written for a while. Ha! I wrote him because a friend wrote him and thought he would appreciate more mail, so she asked me to pretty please write him. I have been writing prisoners for 4,5 years and started out to write someone on death row because of my personal beliefs, and one thing lead to another and eventually I had several pen pals and fell in love with one of them.

I also disagree that most men with ads are scammers. Most of them are just lonely and looking for someone to get a break in the day. It's not easy to scam people for something they aren't willing to give, so when people do start to write someone in prison they should use common sense and take things slowly, because time will most of the time tell you if Mr. so and so is up to no good.

Ok Here is a True RedNeck Jerry Springer kinda story:

I met my man through his sister. His sister is my exhusband's new wife.:eek:
We met outside the prison one weekend when she went to visit him when she came out she was crying and very upset so I asked her what was wrong. She said he was really down-no mail-no visitors. Their grandmother was very sick and he was extremely close to her. So she asked me if I would please write to him. Nothing big, no strings, just someone to send mail to him. I thought OK, sure. I can send mail-if nothing else I'll send a card. so I wrote to him. This was back in February. His gmother passed away-I wrote to him about that. I came upon a hard time of my own-in March was my son's bday that had died in 99 and I started talking to him about how hard it was to deal with death. In April was the date he died and I just poured out my heart to him in a letter-it was like 16 pages (front & back) long. We were there for each other through a very difficult time in our lives. We became very good friends and still never intended for anything serious to develop. In May I confessed that I was having feelings for him-he said that he was too. So May 19th I went to visit him. He didn't know I was going-I surprised him. The second he walked into the room-I knew. I loved him. He was "the one" for me. That first kiss was my last first kiss and even though it was short it was AWESOME! Things get better and better everyday. I fall more and more in love with him as we grow as a couple. He's my soulmate. I'll never let him go now that I finally found him.

Lets make a long story short. I was in a 5 year "jail relationship" with someone. Things didnt work out with him. I had a friend always talk about her one pen pal. She would say oh I got a letter from him today. He was funny. After a while. I asked if she would mind if I would write him! I said do you think he would write me? She said I dont know. I knew a lot about him, but he knew little about me. He was going though a ruff time with his aunt died, his dad had a stroke. I was going though trust issues. He tought me how to trust again and I helped him. That was V day of 2006. I'm glad GOD sent him to me.

I met my friend through his daughter, who was renting a room in my home...he was speaking to her by phone and i was talking in the background and he asked if he could speak to me...i was like sure and then once we introduced ourselves he asked if he could write me...and that was the end of my former life...i was trying to remember what i did before i met him and i can't!

my man speaks perfect english and writes using perfect grammar ...he has earned different degrees it is crazy...he has such a profound outlook on religion...he speaks so positive...if it was not for the fact of him being behind bars i am sure he would be in the top most eligible bachelors somewhere...you know, anyway i agree with all of you who said inmates are human...and so are we!

Well, ya'll, here's my story. My best friends husband (we'd all known each other for years and years) got mixed up in drugs and ended up in prison. He asked to me if I would write to this guy in prison with him...he got no mail/no visits/ both his parents had died since he'd been in. I said "Hell NO!! I'm not getting mixed up with no guy in prison. Don't give my address out either!!!" Well, its been 1 1/2 years and--you guessed it!! Love strikes when you least expect it, doesn't it? Sure didn't start out that way and I wasn't looking for it. By the way, he wrote first and was a nervous wreck wondering if I'd write him back. I did, I don't know why. But I am soooo glad I gave him a chance. I've been visiting too for the last year. Whoo Hoo!!!

I met him through his cousin that goes to the same gym as I do, The funny thing is that I met his cousin like almost a year ago and got closer as time passed, I went to her house and saw his pic with his sister. I asked him who the hottie was and then she told me. Long story short I met his sister and she is good people and gave me his address to write. 3 months later, here I am going to meet him for the first time this Sunday!

I met my baby through a pen pal site.I was searching for penpal sites and came across one for inmates.I figured why not give it a try.I've been single and celibate for 2 years and really just wanted someone i could talk to.It started out as a friendship and now we've just gotten to that relationship level.I'm grateful to have him and i can't wait until he comes home.Unfortunately he has 6 years to go.I'm willing to wait and we've already decided that we'll marry before he comes home.Our relationship is still in the beginning stages and our journey has just begun.But i look at the end results as this all being worth it.If i had it to do over again-i'd do it in a heartbeat.

how i meet rudy well its kinda funny. he was in county jail with my brother. i had started writing one of my brothers other friends who had no one to write him. me and ryan are still friends he has been out for about a month now. well while me and ryan where writeing he kept asking me to find a friend for his friend rudy to talk to so i did. he wrote a letter and sent it to me for my friend. but she never responded and i felt really bad. well the next time i went to visit my brother i asked who he was and he made me laugh by being silly. anyways about 2 and a half month went by and ryan was getting ready for court and i got a random letter from rudy addressed to me asking about my brother and ryan. i wrote back thinking nothing of it. well we have kept writeing and i finally asked how or who gave him my address. he said he had asked one of my brothers tattoo artist in jail if he had it to write my brother but really just wanted to get to know me because when ryan got the chance to write me he was mad because he really wanted to get to know me from seeing me go visit my brother. things are still very new with us so there is no relationship to speak of but he is in safp and will be getting out in may hopefully.

I have a friend who spent some time in jail before I met him and it breaks my heart when he tells me about how lonely it was in there. One night when I couldn't sleep I started looking through the ads at inmate-connection.com. I saw Gabriel's ad and my heart skipped a beat but I wasn't sure if I wanted to get involved. My gut instincts told me there was a chance that I'd get really attatched to him and I wasn't sure if I could handle being close to an inmate. So I moved on and didn't write to him. For almost an entire month I kept going back to Gabriel's ad every day to stare at his picture and read what he wrote, I just couldn't get him off of my mind. When I realized his ad was ready to expire I finally jumped on it and wrote him a letter. Four days later I received a response from him and I was delighted when he started talking about my home town and all my favorite places to hang out at - it turns out he lived around here for a few years and absolutely loved it. I had no idea, he didn't mention my town in his ad at all. It was just random luck (or maybe a sign?). Between having that in common and our personalities being _really_ compatable, I was smitten. I thought it would take a while for me to earn his trust, especially since he has been done so wrong by other women in his life, and I was ready to show him all the patience in the world. Six weeks after we started writing to each other he opened up and told me his entire story. It was a fifteen page letter with everything from childhood to present and some of it was so awful that I cried. I was surprised that he'd take such a leap of faith and let me in so deep, and even more surprised that someone could go through that much heartache and still have such a gentle, tender heart. He told me that I took a chance writing to a total stranger in prison and since I put my trust in him, he was placing his trust in me. I've never felt so close to anyone in all of my life. We've only been writing to each other for four months now and I'm going to visit him this weekend for the very first time. I'm not nervous at all - this relationship is real, and I know I'm safe with him.

I was going to start a penpal site for Muslim prisoners with my now EX husband who had done time in the FEDs...While looking for Ideas on how to start the site I stumbled upon Soldado's penpal plea...it may have been one of the first ones I really read...I couldnt even see his face, its an old pic and its a side view. I couldnt stop pulling it up, Id pull it up when I got home and at work, I finally decided to write in 06/06 he wrote back 07/06 and we've been together since...I left my career in finance, divorced the EX, moved 16 hours away from my hometown to his,started my own lil business, Im back in school and I plan on marrying my man this year.

Long story short

My ex got thrown in the clink- they were in together and my Ex gave him my number as a test- but I was mad at him at the time cuz he is a total jerk-

so I spoke with this Guy- and than went to meet him
and once I met him that was it- OMG those eyes- the smile and the 4inch mini-fro & beard had me from the get-go
I made the better choice and am sticking it out with him-

(sticking it out- where does that expression come from? Sticking what out- makes me think I have a stick in my hand and am poking it out there in the breeze or something. sorry- brain fart moment)

Well I met my baby through one of my ex's. He was pissed off at me and gave this guy my address to write to me. He started off writing to me looking for a friend or someone to talk to...so I thought. He drew me pictures and wrote to me all the time. Our letters turned into visits...and we fell in love with each other. He tells me now he never just wanted to be my friend...he seen my picture and wanted me to be his. I guess sometimes I find that hard to believe...because I am a big girl. But he tells me he knew he had to have me...he is the most wonderful man! The funny thing is my ex still wants me back... he was very abusive towards me and I do not want to be with him. He found out I was with the guy he gave my address too...and was in shock. This man is my soul mate...we are gonna get married. It has been almost two years since that first letter...and I never loved anyone more than I love him! He is my soul mate, and we will be together! My ex took everything from me...and put me through 9 years of hell...pretty funny how he ended up giving me the best thing I could have ever asked for. The man of my dreams!

I met him off a penpal site and his add didn't even have a picture but it was his words that attracted me and made me write ,I almost forgot I had wrote until 3 weeks later when I got a reply.He wasn't going to write me back as he had wrote penpals before and weeks later they had just stopped writing,neither of us wanted a relationship and made it clear from the start.But now almost 2 years on we are a couple and planning our future,we already have a house waiting for us we he gets out,it's all good.

my bro was his cell-mate before he transferred out, basically my bro asked me to write him because he wanted to prove a point (as always) that all women are the same yada yada yada... his ex and a few other women did him "dirty".....but we started writing... and the rest is history.. never thought i would be so attached to him

:) I love these stories!!:)

To make a long, convoluted story short and simple... he implemented an environmental movement. I learned about it, investigated, found out it was his organization... freaked out. Joined it anyway. :o Started writing to him. He wrote back. Another inmate's wife asked him to call me. Started talking. Kept writing. Things got intense. And here we are.

well my mate was going to work, was on the job for only 2 days, and I was on my new job for 2 days, i was living with my X husband at the time and looking for him a job, well there was a crowd of men coming from work with there work shirts on and I walked up to the crowd of men and ask was they hiring, mind you I left my X for 2 years and then he came down to visit and needed a job, well my fiance now turned around and said yes my job his hiring, he gave me the information, but it was the wrong information(LOL)...I couldn't wait to see him the next day so I can tell him about his self, well when the next day came, he gave me the right info and didn't know it because he got the job from the transitional center and have been in JAIL for 4 years....we met at the ariport, both waiting for the bus, and then after he gave me the information sat together and then the story began....I love the way he talked to me and all the stuff he was saying, I just fell in love with his conversation thats crazy...anyway he came home, we got together, still never had sex yet, but been together for 2 years...he is back in but, we are still together, now he has to finish his time with nothing over his head, then we can be truly a married couple....

i met him at the facility i worked at, and i met him because he wanted me to meet him.

i chose to stick it out with him because i knew that the reward of being with him later would be worth the wait of a prison sentence now...and i knew then just like i know now...that i could do it!

I met my Baby thru a pen pal site. I saw his ad and just kept going back to it. I loved what he had to say, so I wrote to him. The rest is history. He's going to be home to us soon and i can't wait.

We actually grew up together and had stayed in touch over the years. but recently he called to talk to my little sister and asked about me. I just so happened to be sitting across from her. We talked he asked me if he wrote would i write back he did i responded and the rest is history. My onlyquestion now is why did i wait so long....;)

I met my husband thru my best friend. He was not looking for a hook-up at the time and had no idea who I was. One thing lead to another and 2 years later we were married.

I did not seek to find love in prison, it just happened.

One night I was just aimlessly wandering around the internet (Don't you just love boring nights like that?)
I decided on a whim to search for a pen pal.
Well lo and behold a well known site came up and I realized it was a prisoner pen pal site, now the thought had never occured to me to write someone whom was incarcerated.
I did a quick search and up came his ad. I thought: "Why not?"
2 weeks later I got the most profound letter I have ever recieved, it actually brought me to tears.
I swear, before him, I don't think I've ever been in love....

I met Tyrone in the dorm I worked in. I couldn't stand him at first, he's a cocky one, and he thought I was snotty. Well, his roommate and I were cool so the roommate asked me to be nicer to Tyrone because they went way back. Long story short, I chilled out and we've now been together 7 years.

I met Joey through my cousin, they were in the same program together and became friends. He hadn't had a visit for 9 years because his family lives in New York, so my cousin put one of his friends on Joey's visitation list so he could come hang out with us. After the first visit I knew I wanted to know him better. That was 5 years ago and we are stronger than ever!
