BECOME A PENPAL
Join Inside Circle’s Penpal Program and help foster healing and transformation through heartfelt letters with incarcerated individuals.
HOW IT WORKS
Letter writing may seem like a small act, but it can have a big impact – for everyone involved. Not only do letters provide an important form of connection, but when prisoners receive mail, it’s a message to prison staff and other prisoners that this person has support and is not forgotten. This can be a vital way to reduce violence against people who are locked up. Likewise, writing may have a big impact on you – it may change the way you think about prisoners, it may challenge assumptions you have, and you may learn important things about yourself in the process.
Inside Circle matches outside writers to pen pals on the inside, and provides a virtual mailbox to ensure personal safety for outside pen pals. We have a straightforward set of guidelines to help you get started. Click here to learn more, or to sign up.
Inside Circle is a safe space where you can be authentic, drop your guard, drop your mask and speak your truth, work through your trauma and become a healed individual.
