Just curious, I've been reading through pen pal applications as I'm considering a second pen pal. Some inmates say their age yet it doesn't correspond with this year. eg "I am 22 years old, my birthday is 2/7/78." Therefore this inmate must have written this application some 4 years ago. How can I be certain this inmates hasn't been freed or executed already? Or indeed, how can I be certain they still want a pen pal after 4 years. Hugs, Gill. x

Hi Gill, yes, most of these ad's were submitted a long time ago. When i wrote i thought Pat was 34, it turned out he'd put the penpal request in 6 years previously and had forgotten he'd sent it, but he was over the moon to receive a letter anyway. If an inmate's been executed or released then CCADP will have updated it so you don't need to worry and as far as not wanting a penfriend anymore, well i doubt that very much. I'm sure any of these guys/ girls would be so, so happy to hear from you or anyone on the outside who takes time to get in touch with them,  |

We don't update unless there is a change that is sent in o r the person is executed or asked to be removed; there's too many and more to get up! |

HI Gill I wrote to an inmate on DR and the ad turned out to be older. However we exchanged letters afew times and they seemed to be flowing ok, then he suddenly stopped I continued for a month or so then I gave up. I have started writing to a couple more, but in different prisons. Good luck in finding a penpal, but dont take it personally if you dont get a response. To checkout their status now check out the prison website there are usually a list of the prisoners presently residing on DR. Texas even inform you of their crimes.
