Good day ladies! How’s it going out there? I hope all is well and that you’re all taking care of yourselves. Just this quick little introduction to give you a brief rundown on this fine young gentleman of 30 years, Mr David Galaviz!
Well, as you know, I am incarcerated and have been for the past 10 years. I’ve still got some time left so I’ll be here to answer your letters. I find it great to have the opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. I’m also open minded, so all you ladies, no matter what race, culture, beliefs or background, I would love to hear from you. If you take the time to write me, I’ll definitely take the time to write you, so don’t be shy. If you would like to know more and see a picture, you could find me on my myspace page at ‘Southern Jaguar ‘79’.

Hey there ladies! Well, if you have stumbled across this intro then lucky you, because you just stumbled across a pot of gold! Just kidding!
The reason for me doing this is to befriend someone out there and just talk about whatever. I’ll be stuck in here for a while so I’m just trying to make the best of the situation and find a cool person to get to know. I have no particular preference for who I’d like to get to know so if you know how to hold a conversation and are open minded, please feel free to write. Age, color and size does not matter to me.
Well, I’m going to keep this simple so if you really want to know what lies inside my nig noggin and what I’m about, then you’re going to havr to write and find out. I hope to hear from you soon.

Ivan Galvan

I'm a 29-year-old lifer doing an indeterminate SHU term for alleged gang association. As things stand, the flimsiest hearsay evidence is enough to support such a determination and there's no way to disprove it. I've been in the SHU for 4 years and it's hard to find real, positive and decent conversation. I have never written any pen pals, but I would like to try. I'm of Mexican and Nicaraguan descent. I'm interested in politics, history, art and culture, movies and entertainment. I'm highly spiritual but not religious, and I respect people of all faiths. I am a firm believer that all human beings are equal. I hope to write to someone with similar interests to my own, but it's not necessary. You may have nothing in common with me, but it's all good; we may learn from each other. I'm a real person – not a stereotype. I'd like you to get to know me and what really goes on in here. Thank you.

Freddy Garay

I’m 26 years old and have been in prison since 1997. I’ve been in SHU (isolation) here since 2005 and I’m scheduled to be released in 2011. I would like to take this opportunity to establish communication with someone out there. Please feel free to ask me anything; I’ll respond honestly.
To describe myself, I’m 6 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds. I keep myself in excellent shape and health. I’m basically looking for someone to talk with - someone who needs a good listener with an open mind. I enjoy writing poetry and I’m a self-taught artist.

Danny Garcia

I'm a 35-year-old Mexican man. I'm currently serving an 8-year sentence and have been placed here in the Pelican Bay's SHU – solitary confinement for those of you who don't know the term. I'm versatile and would appreciate writing to someone who's open minded, mature, and able to stimulate my mind. I've found 1000 ways not to live life. I still have many years ahead of me, God willing. I consider myself a work in progress.

I am someone who made a mistake in life and now I’m paying the consequences for my actions. But don’t let my mistake deter you from letting me show you what I’m really all about. What you will get from me is respect, honesty and loyalty. Age, race and style are of little concern as long as you are willing to be real. I will be real with you on all levels. Don’t hesitate to pick up that pen and paper to find yourself a new friend…. You won’t regret it!

Jose M. Garcia

Greetings. Up front, I'll say I'm not looking for a meal ticket or romance, I won't reject love if it comes my way, but I can stand on my own feet. I will write to anyone who wants true friendship. Female, Male, White, Brown or Black, young or old, true friendship has no set guidelines in my view.

Before you is a single 35-year-old male born in Mexico, raised here in the States. I'm 6 foot 4 inches, 220 pound gentle giant. I have black hair, brown eyes. I'm not a pretty boy G.Q. model, but fit the outdoor role. I carry my weight well. I worked as a welder, in a lumber yard and in an auto-related field when out, so hard work doesn't scare me.

I'm a strong and open-minded person with good values who made a mistake. I've been in prison since I was 18 years old, (in S.H.U. the last 8 years), in part for being a hardened youth. I'm not in prison for anything weird, sick or perverted. So take a chance on a real person and
friendship. Whatever you decide, though, I wish you the best in life.

whatever comes to mind, but my main style is realistic. I truly enjoy is a good page-turner. Working out is a must to stay in shape. Music wise? Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Oldies, Mexican Rancheros and old school. One of my favorite things in life is to laugh. I have a great sense of humor and can make you laugh and smile as well. My whole purpose in sending this introduction is to hopefully develop a long-lasting friendship, share some clever conversation and, most importantly, to bring many smiles.

Peter Garnica

I'm 27 years old. I'm from Southern California, born and raised in East Los Angeles. I'm currently under lock and key on an all expense-paid state vacation. I'm interested in writing to a friend who can appreciate a fun, good humored, easy-going guy. When I'm not on vacation, I enjoy spending time with my son, who just turned 10 years old. My first love is my son, my second is cars. I'm pretty good with my hands, so I'm always working on something. I also enjoy sports, music and learning about different cultures. I guess you could say I enjoy a little bit of everything and not too much of anything. I'm interested in getting to know people from other places, exchanging stories and sharing a few thoughts and opinions, along with some good laughs and over all good conversation. A friend with a good head on their shoulders, who knows how to laugh and can hold their own in a conversation is what I'm looking for. If that's you, and you can spare a few minutes, drop a guy a few lines. Ask some questions or just say hi. With that I'll bring
this brief intro to a close and wish you all the best.

Alluron Gipson

I am a 30 year old man who has been in prison since 17. I have had to basically grow up in here. And mentally as well as physically, the experience probably was what I needed out of life. I grew up in South Central Los Angeles, and was a fixture to it’s street life. Now I’d like to think that I’ve changed and look forward to making some good happen in the world once I’m released.
Since I’ve been in prison I’ve learned that I like to write poetry and read all kinds of books. I don’t have anyone to share my poetry with, besides other inmates. It gets real lonely in my heart and soul because I’m a people person. It’s alright being able to talk to the other inmate, but it’s no comparison to being able to speak to someone outside of these walls. You know, being able to share your intimate thoughts. That’s what’s missing in my life and hopefully I can know that feeling before I leave these walls.

Kenny Godoy

08/31/09

My name is Kenny Godoy and I’m 39 years old. It’s difficult to tell you all about me in just a couple of words, you know it takes time to get to know a person. I’ll do my best t give you an idea of the type of man Kenny is: a good hearted man, stuck in Pelican Bay SHU in a cell 24/7 with no view of the outside world. It can get a little lonely. I’ve been in here for 10 years now and my only contact is through letters. Which is why I’m taking a chance on this website.
I’m hoping to find a friend, someone who is mature, open minded, patient, understanding and committed to getting to know me, Kenny the man and not the prisoner.
I’m very intelligent. I enjoy reading, writing poems and stories and especially like to draw. I’m very creative. Although I can’t see the outside world but I like to draw animals, birds, butterflies, cats, dogs and horses.
I’m very open minded, understanding, easy going and funny. Most of all honest, caring and passionate in all that I do and believe in. I respect other people and their opinions. My best virtue is my loyalty. I love to meet new people, learning about people and cultures. I’m not judgmental at all. I don’t expect you to be perfect. As I surely am not.
I hope to connect with someone on the outside. Wherever you are I will write. You hold the key to my freedom, not physically but mentally, so I may see the world through your eyes.
I look forward to hearing from you.

A poem I wrote:

Time waits for no one
You will treasure life
Even more when shared with a friend

Pedro Gomez

Dearest friend,

Greetings…. My name is Pedro Gomez. I’m a 31 year old prisoner, incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison CA.
I’m looking forward to meeting friends (pen pals). There’s not one in particular. You don’t have to be or look a certain way. I’m looking forward to writing anyone who’s willing to establish an honest friendship. An honest friendship is all I ask for.
I was born in Mexico and as a child I was brought to North Hollywood, California. I grew up there and attended it’s schools. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English. My favorite subject is Philosophy and my favorite philosopher is Socrates. I enjoy reading other subjects as well. During my free time I draw, read or play chess. I’m also a sportsman, I like many sports.
I have been incarcerated since I was 18 years old. Prison has really taught me a lot. Prison has provided me with the time to educate myself and learn how to be respectful towards others. I consider myself an open minded and an understanding person with a great sense of humor, I try to cheer my friends up every time I get the chance.
Here’s a brief description of myself: I’m 6”tall, 170-175 lbs, short black hair, dark brown eyes and a light complexion. I also exercise to keep a fit body.
I’m offering an honest and loyal friendship, so please don’t let that keep you from writing/corresponding with me. All I can say is you’ll be taking a harmless chance in an honest man with good intentions. Please fell free to say or ask anything.
I thank you for taking the time to read my letter. May God bless you and your loved ones. Hope to her from you soon.

Arnie Gonzales

I'm a 44 year old Mexican American (Chicano). I've been incarcerated since 1980. I've been in Pelican Bay SHU since the day it opened in December 1989. I'm originally from Southern California and grew up in an area known as Frogtown. I was arrested in 1980 for supposedly being the accomplice in a murder/robbery that took place in a convenience store. It was caught on video tape and mine was the first trial in California that used video tape as evidence. In 1982, I was convicted and sentenced to life without parole and sent up to Old Folsom Prison. I went from Old Folsom to San Quentin, getting out of there at the end of '87 to be transferred to New Folsom until early '89. Then to Corcoran SHU and then to Pelican Bay when it opened. Since I've been in prison, I've lost touch with all family members and friends from my youthful days. My days in the SHU are spent like most other convicts - get up early, exercise, draw a little bit, play chess, and keep up with current events. My number one vice is watching novelas (Spanish soap operas). I am looking for someone to write to, in the hopes of opening up a communication line to the outside world and to having a little companionship and friendship. I don't have much to offer anyone other than emotional support, and a loyal friendship. I'm open to all religious beliefs as long as its not used to try and convert me. If you're interested in finding out what makes me tick, you can catch me at the address below.

George Gonzalez

Born a Gemini in 1955, I am a son of Mexican immigrants who was raised in the east side of Los Angeles. I’ve been in the SHU since this place opened for business and this will most likely be my home until they shut it down, change policies or health permits.
I plat chess, draw a little and read what I can to pass the time. Vigorous daily work outs are a must and I am also taking college courses towards an AA degree. I would really like to write someone just for conversation. It doesn’t matter so much what we talk/write about as it is finding mutual pleasure in the actual pen pal-ship itself. I want to expand the mind and direct my energies towards more positive aspects, dream of things that could be and places never seen. I am three decades deep into a tern to life sentence with possibility of parole. I’m ready, willing, and able to face a free world if the Board of Prison Hearings were to cut me lose tomorrow. I have to believe it could happen some day because I choose to embrace that seductive lure of a thing called hope. Without it I risk sinking deeper into isolation of mind and spirit.
Will answer all and though I’m not seeking anything complicated, I would prefer to hear from a cool ass chick!

Jose Gonzalez

My name is Jose Gonzalez and I am a 32 year old Mexican born and raised in East L.A I have been incarcerated for 13 years. I arrived her at Pelican Bay 9 months ago. I was on Death row but I got a reversal on that and now I’m a lifer serving an indeterminate SHU program.
I recently came across this pen pal project and thought I’d give it a shot.
I enjoy meeting new people even if it is just through letters, so if you are someone who’s interested in writing and hanging out with someone like me, then shoot me a quick letter and of course I’ll get back at you. So, I’ll leave it up to those of you who go through this website. I hope to be on e of the lucky ones.
Take care,

Joseph Felix Gonzalez

I am a Christian and have been serving the Lord Jesus Christ now for some years. I am not looking for a romantic connection, but rather would like to establish a friendship through which I could enjoy some much needed fellowship. I am the only Christian here in my pod (each pod consists of eight cells and usually 8 men) and there is only so much that the men around me will hear of my faith. I am a lifer and am not due to leave isolation any time soon. I am 40 years old and was born in Texas in 1963, though we moved to California when I was 9 years old. I am an avid reader of history, whether it is Christian history, military,
or the history of empires such as the Greek, Roman, British, etc. However, because I must spend more time in studying the Holy Scriptures, I do not indulge in too much secular reading. I love to discuss various topics and try to understand the root causes of things. I am always striving to keep an open mind and at the same time not to become a watered down Christian. I have accepted full responsibility for my sins (crimes) and have asked God to forgive me. So I'm not in denial or hiding anything. I accept my punishment as just, and look forward to learning as much as I can until I fall asleep (die) or the Lord Jesus returns. I love art, all kinds of music, good food, and I like to learn about other cultures and people. I think this is crucial because the Bible says one day we will judge the world (1 Cor. 6:2, 3, 4-6), so I feel we should gain as broad a perspective as we can. I would like to correspond with a friend who is a genuine Christian, so that I could
have someone to share the Word and my friendship with. I think I could learn from them, and also, they could ask me about this other world and find out what it's truly like to be living in the devil's playground. I will gladly answer any and all questions, hoping to educate and be educated.

Ramiro Gonzalez

40-year old looking for pen pals, friendship, correspondence. Everyone is more than welcome to write. Age, race, gender unimportant; I will answer all.

I was born in Mexicali in 1965, but came to the U.S. in 1975. Lived in East Los Angeles, and unfortunately got arrested in 1982 when I had barely turned 17 years of age.

I love all sports, astronomy, current events, history, science and nature. I enjoy doing crossword puzzles and pencil games, watching documentaries and comedy programs. I love classic rock music, Spanish music, all kinds of music, especially 70;s and 80's music. I also love to study, read, write and learn new things.

I love to meet people from all walks of life, but due to my circumstances, writing letters is the only way I'm able to do that. I'm also in SHU, which means we're in our cells for 22-1/2 hours a day, so writing helps tremendously, as it is my only window to the outside world.

Tito Tommy Gonzales

I'm a 38-year-old Chicano, interested in corresponding with anyone willing to start a new friendship. I'm not looking for anyone in particular - I just figure this is a great opportunity to talk to different people who are open to all topics, especially opinions about our society and where it's headed, anyone that's honest and sincere who doesn't mind passing time by lifting someone's spirits with laughter and smiles. Also, someone who loves life and people as well as keeping it real with themselves and others.

I would like to find someone with similar interests whoI can be open with and they in return, be open with me. I have a strong desire to reach any limits of life and open my world to the joys and struggles of your world.

I'm a good listener, open minded, like to learn and see new things, also love music, art, classic cars & and having fun. So if you're interested in a new friendship, please feel free to contact me.

Darren T. Gregory

I’m an African-American man, 5’9”, 195 pounds. I’m hoping these words will inspire you to pick up your pen and open up our lines of communication on a truthful and respectful basis of equality. You can call me “Dee”.
I’m incarcerated under the California 3-Strikes Law for nothing serious enough to justify a sentence of 25 to life. Attempted auto theft is what I was convicted of and my earliest release date is 2019. I’m 47 now (born 11/3/58), so you can do that math. Yet, though I’ve been incarcerated for 12 years, I am blessed. Not because I’m in prison, but because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I enjoy reading, Bible studies, playing chess, and writing to others. I’ll answer all letters.

Tony Hardin

I am a person with a genuine soul, in search of a person who possess the strength within themselves to look beyond my incarceration, and also for one mistake that does not reflect who I am inside.
Gender, race and features are unimportant to me because I see one’s beauty from within a person’s heart and traits, I seek nothing of superficial or tangible value.. What I am searching for is only what the mind and heart can comprehend.
So until then I send my angels to protect this hopeful person wherever they may be.

29 year old Mexican male, with a release date of 2012.
Looking to meet a pen pal and hopefully establish a meaningful and lasting friendship.
I’m a positive and open minded man. Sincere, caring and passionate. One who has learned by self reflection, that a persons worth and values come from within. I’m hoping to meet someone who will allow me the pleasure to be a positive part of their life, and allow me to get to know them as well as take the time to get to know me. Age, race, location and looks are irrelevant to me. I just hope to hear from you, and hope that this could be the beginning of something that will one day be dear to both our hearts.

Tommy Harrison

Hello, my name is Tommy. I'm 6' 1', 208 lbs., with brown hair, brown eyes, and a big ass mustache that I'm quite proud of. I'm good looking and very well mannered. I have a tremendous amount of respect for all women, all credit must be given to my mother, God rest her soul. I love to draw. It's one of my true passions and I m very good at it. I'd say that I'm a people person. I find people from all walks of life so
interesting. It's really exciting to get to know someone, and if a friendship develops out of this introduction, I would consider myself blessed. I have a 14 year old son who is my pride and joy. I hate being
away from him, but fortunately he is old enough to understand what I am going through. I am doing life for possession of drugs - my third strike.I like opinionated women. I say this because I'm interested in hearing
about your ideas, your opinions, how you feel about life, and anything else that's important to you. I hope this short bio has peaked your interest. Hopefully you'll choose to write to me - you won't be disappointed! All letters are welcomed and will be answered.

Devonte Harris

I’m a young African American man currently paying the price of misplaced ambition and trust. Being locked up has kind of made me feel empty and like the shell of a man. I’m searching for someone to be the flame that keeps the fire of life burning inside me. Both my mind and my heart are open. Anyone who extends their hand to me in friendship will be embraced.
I was raised in the ghetto, but my Mom persevered to provide me with a better life. I got to taste suburban living. I also attended a few semesters of junior college. Deep down I missed the hustle and bustle of the ghetto. When placed at the crossroads, I went back to my old neighborhood. Eventually I got caught up in this case.
Since being in prison, I’ve gotten my life back on track. I study, and read a lot of non-fiction books. Psychology is one of my main fields of interest. History and Law are the others. Watching sports on TV is one of my pastimes. I also exercise daily. No matter how busy I try to keep myself, there is still this void in my life that can only be fulfilled by companionship. Hopefully someone out there will take advantage of this opportunity for us to share our thoughts and passions. The loneliness of prison can be overwhelming.
I appreciate all of you who reach out to people in my position, even if it’s not me.

Curtis Lee Henderson Sr

I am 36 years of age. I was born and raised in Fresno, California and as a young man, I allowed myself to fall into the bosom of negativity,which landed me in this situation. As for my personal description, I am 5'8” tall, 198 lbs, black long hair and brown eyes. I write this with pure and positive meanings in hopes that something productive is formed from this. I'm looking for a pen pal who will give a man such as me a chance to come into their world through correspondence. I am very outspoken, as well as educated and sophisticated. In my leisure time I enjoy reading and keeping fit. I believe I'm going that extra step in
life by putting forth a serious effort to overcome, as well as totally defeat, all obstacles designed to impede progress. The pen pal who responds must have intentions directed in the benefit of us growing constructively as people communicating on prosperous levels, understanding and accepting each other for who we are. Well, if I've captured your attention in any way, then don't hesitate to pick up that pen and paper and divulge to me your thoughts.

Montaé Henderson

I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles and became a product of my environment – which lead to my present confinement. I’m a very passionate man who takes life as it comes: accepting adversity and prosperity as the normal cycle of life from which I can learn. I’m very ambitious and always believe in living life without limitations, though with an appropriate level of caution. I’m an aspiring author with two books I’m seeking to have published. My other ambitions include starting my own record label as well as a multi-service company. If you’re not afraid to take a step into unfamiliar ground, please write.

Tã-Bã Herbert

I'm a 33-year-old African-American man serving a 26-year to life sentence under the 3-strikes law. I've been falsely accused and sentenced of a petty, non-violent crime: the sale of 4 grams of cocaine base. In the entire seven years I've been confined, I haven't had a pen pal– someone of any race to be get to know better in a mutually respectful way.

I'm 5'11” talI, 230 pounds and dark complexioned. More importantly, I'm intelligent, considerate, humorous, and easy to get along with. When it comes to women, I'm romantic and understanding of a woman's needs. I'm a poet – blessed by God with that gift. I'm loving, caring, and am highly spiritual. Treasures and beautiful things in life are discovered by people who seek them out so: Holler at me!!

Here's a poem of mine called “Faith”

Never give up never give in, keep the faith
One day you will win…

Whenever in doubt take my advice,
Give all of your problems to the lord Jesus Christ.

Confess with your mouth, give it a try,
Be sincere, no need to lie…

Believe in your heart that's all you have to do,'
He answered my prayers and will answer yours too…

Hello out there! Believe it or not, I'm only 19 years old, one of the unfortunate ones caught up in a web a.k.a. 'the system'.

Basically I try to get something out of it. Sports: I enjoy football, baseball, NASCAR and some soccer. I have a strong sense of moral excellence. I stay happy. I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things, ideas, cultures, etc. I'm open to hear just about anything. I seek that special person who has these good qualities. These good traits.

a vicitm of the 3 Strike Law and there is a chance that I could be out if the law is defeated. My offence is not violent – 2nd degree burglary. I am a caring, somewhat old-fashioned person with a sense of humor. I am open-minded, intelligent, have never been married, and have an 18-year-old son. I've been here 10 years and am looking for a new
beginning in this life. I have a new outlook, new goals and most importantly, I do need a change. This life is not working and I'm just wasting away in here. My days are full of distress, but my heart remains compassionate and full of love. Those are things no person and no situation can deprive me of. I'm aware that there are a lot of guys on this pen-pal list to choose from, but this is the one you want to
respond to.

Robert Hoff

Hello, with a big warm and friendly greeting to one and all. My name is Robert Hoff and I wrote this ad especially for you. Hopefully it will catch your interest enough to drop me a few lines so we can get to know each other and become friends.

Now please allow me to tell you a little bit about myself. I turned 42 this year on July 24th, but boy I sure don't feel that old. At least not on most days. LoL! I grew up in Sunny Southern California in the City of San Bernardino. I've lived there off and on most of my life. I was a wild one growing up. Really into dirt bikes, Hot Rods, partying, and
heavy metal music. In my younger days I was married, but I've been divorced now for several years. I don't have children from my marriage or any other relationships. I come from a very small family. No brothers or sisters. My folks and immediate family have all passed away over the
last few years. I can honestly say that watching my loved ones pass from a distance and coming to grips with being completely alone in this world, has been the hardest part about my incarceration.

Before I came to prison, I worked in construction doing masonry and lath. I also had a drug habit to support and soon needed to supplement my income. That's how I ended up in prison. I've been in now since September of '94 for bank robbery and possession of a weapon. My release date is 2018. In the 11 years that I've been incarcerated, I've spent 10 of them in the hole or SHU. That's where I'm at now. I just can't shake that wild streak. LoL!

To tell you about a few of my interests, I like to exercise and keep in good shape. My favorite kind of music is 80's Heavy Metal. I'm definitely a head banger. LoL! I like the whole Goth scene but have never experienced it. I enjoy reading novels. Horror and espionage are my favorite. I also enjoy reading about European history. I recently got
my GED and now I'm trying to get accepted into a College pilot program they've started up here. I like to learn new things. I just recently started learning Spanish so I can try to speak and learn a whole other history of another culture aside from my own. I really am a person who is open-minded and willing to continue to better myself as time proceeds to go on in an environment with very little resources to offer.

I like to laugh and make others smile. It makes my world a brighter and better place. I like honesty and sincerity and still possess those qualities, regardless of my situation. I like meeting new people and treasure friendship. I like writing letters just as much as I enjoy receiving them.

A few more of my interests are watching movies of all kinds, sitcoms, and I'm a real sucker for reality TV shows. I enjoy most sports and I'm a huge motor sports fan. Also, I like to draw. These are just a few of my interests and likes. If you're looking to meet someone new and share
any of my likes and interests, or even if you don't, I'd love to hear from you. I'll answer all letters. I hope to hear from you soon.

Richard Hoffman

I'm looking for a friendship, anyone over the age of 21. It doesn't matter male or female. Just a friend. I've been locked up for 6-1/2 years and I have another 6-1/2 to do. I don't have any friends, but I do have family. I have two daughters. My daughter Heather is 21 years old and she lives in San Antonio, Texas. She is married and has my
1-year-old grandson. She writes me and sends pictures a couple of times a year. My daughter Vernoica is 20 years old and is married and lives in Montana with her husband and my 2year-old granddaughter. She also writes a couple of times a year and sends pictures.

I enjoy reading, any kind of history. I love to read. I love playing chess, watching baseball, football and basketball. I'm somewhat of a sport's buff. I love animals and my favorite dog is a Lab.

I was raised in the City of Whittier. I have six sisters and one brother. We didn't have much growing up, but my mother sure did try a lot of love. My downfall was thinking I could make fast easy money. But look where that got me. I believe I have matured with age. I have passed my G.E.D. and would love to go further with my education. I don't have any money for the books, but I have found other inmates willing to donate their books after they are finished with them. So God willing that will happen. And last of all, I have dropped out of the prison gang I was in, it's a start to changing my life. I believe that's where I needed to start.

I hope to find a Pen Pal friend, someone to talk to and share thoughts with. Thank you and God Bless.

W.M Hopeau

Well, if you’re reading this then I have a chance, so do I lay it down heavy or keep it real? Hmm… being as I’m 38 and too old for games, I’ll be real and say I’m no prince charming with eyes that reveal my soul. If anything, they reveal a blankness that hopefully can be filled by the responses of people that want some basic things in life, which are, health, happiness and a healthy family. Everything else is secondary so why stress? Yeah, it’s easy for me to say sitting in a cell, but if anything this cell has made me realize what is important. When it comes down to it we can’t take anything with us so really what’s important is the memories you’ve left behind.
Anyhow, male or female, short or tall, it does not matter. I’m just looking for a real friendship or more, based on the truth. If an honest opinion doesn’t scare you, drop me a line and hopefully we can out a smile on each others faces without all the games.

Gerald Jackson

For ten years I've been by myself with no one to talk to on the other side. I go home in March, 2009 and I know nothing about life outside of these walls., Mentally I'm far from ready to go home. I don't think fighting or taking a life makes you a man. With that attitude, prison life is no walk in the park.

About me: I'm 28, black and Native American, with brown eyes and hair – standing 5'9” tall and weighing 205 pounds. I feel it's very important to be open and honest no matter what so I want to acknowledge right away that I've been incarcerated since 1994 for voluntary manslaughter. But I'm looking forward to a new life. I have no kids but I'd love some. I want to be a father and a husband. I have a beautiful personality and a sense of humor too. I'm just looking for someone I can correspond with on all aspects of life. Ordinary happiness - no drama. I've had enough drama to last a lifetime. So please drop me a line, stay strong, and let nature do the rest.

Ronnie Jake

08/31/09

I’m currently serving a life sentence under the Three Strike Law. I have a loving and supportive family. I’m not looking for someone to support me in any way, contrary to stereotypical norm of prison population.
I’ve got 2 grown daughters and 3 granddaughters . My daughter’s mother and I are close, we try to support each other with life’s up’s and down’s. After all, “you are your brother’s keeper”.
I am a 44 year old African American man from Southern California. I’m an avid reader of history, trying to learn where I went wrong, because in society we’ll continue to make the same mistakes without learning from history. I’m currently enrolled in a correspondence course and I’m involved in a youth mentoring program, trying to share life’s beauties as well as it’s sorrows.
My interests are varied so I’m looking to correspond with someone who is receptive as well as open minded. I’m an optimistic person even in my current situation. I’m not looking for pity, quite the contrary.
I’m going to end this letter with the hopes of hearing from the outside world, willing and able to share their strengths and weaknesses. Life is a learning process from cradle to death. Everything between is life, so lets share.

Sincerely,

Ronnie Jake 3T96707

Khalid Jared

I’m not good at writing introduction letters nor communicating with someone on the outside. I’ts been a while since I conversed with anyone other than immediate family, and that’s not too often.
My full name is Khalid Karmeen Jared. I’m middle Eatsern Indian and Black. 29 years young and incarcerated since the age of 16. I haven’t really experienced anything in life beside heartache and pain, mostly brought on by myself. I had a decent upbringing but I figured the streets would have more to offer than my parents and siblings. I became fascinated with fast money, flashy clothes, nice toys and loose women. Man, how I wish I could rewind time, but I can’t. So I’m making the most of my situation.
It’s scary to write a total stranger in the predicament I’m in that I’m in with a hope that I’ll receive a letter in return. But as the saying goes, one must conquer his or her fears in order to succeed, and I’m trying! I’ taking a chance by writing and making a complete ass of myself in which I’m cool with. Because I tried something new and it was genuine. With that being said I’m going to leave in the fashion in which I came….respectfully.

Arturo Jimenez

Hello. I'm a 28-year-old, first-generation Mexican-American. Normally, I'm not alone in life. I have nice parents with whom I keep in touch regularly and some friends as well. But presently I'm under strenuous lock-down conditions so that I feel excluded from the rest of the world. Given the chance, I can explain. I would be happy to exchange letters with someone who could teach me a thing or two or with someone I might have something to teach. I'm interested in people from all walks of life, as long as they're over 21. I hope to hear from you soon.

Tarell Johnson

Girlfriends, friends, lesbians and wives… none of that is a bother to me. Because I’m just looking for a friend with some cool conversation and a little humor to match. Looks don’t concern me. Plus character is what makes a person easy on the eyes. Because everyone’s attractive in their own way. I am more interested in trying to broaden my horizon than to ponder on an itch I can’t scratch.
I am 27 years of age, from Gardena CA. I am 5”7, 150 lbs, and all man. My eyes are liquid smoke brown and if you add cream to your morning coffee, you’ll have my smooth skin complexion. My hobbies are many ranging from reading to cooking, also I love to work out. I love family and am a very outgoing person. I love music: R&B, jazz and smooth grooves and hip hop. Sports is also a past time.
So with that said, I thank you for your time and consideration.

Davis Jones

Hi! My name is Davis R. Jones and I’m 37 years old. I am interested in meeting people who are involved in the servicing of the “human” community. I would like to network with people who are involved in volunteer programs, public awareness programs and youth programs. Many of us locked in here are really eager to give back to the community in some way, even from this prison cell.
So if there are folks out there that can help me or lead me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can reach me at this address:

Mason Jones

I'm a 28-year-old man from Pasadena – in prison for the first time and with a life sentence! Reading books on a wide variety of subjects is something I like to do in order to expand my thinking beyond the limited confines of these walls. Writing to a friend on the outside would do that for me too – and more. It would offer me the chance to give as well as receive. There's nothing narrower than prison life but I know there are greater things beyond it and only a very small number of them can come through books.

I have a talent for writing and especially enjoy writing poetry and short stories. I've even dabbled in script writing. Legal work, though, must be my main concern just now, so I spend most of my days submerged in my trial transcripts. Even so, there's always time to write to a friend.

Ronald Jones

Salutations. I'm 33 years old and very interested in establishing some friendships with as many pen pals as possible, because I truly enjoy exchanging thoughts and prayers with people in the outside world.

Despite the fact that I've made a few bad choices in the past, I'm still an extremely solid and trustworthy person, especially regarding respect and loyalty when it comes to family and friends.

Since space is limited, I'll simply hope enough curiosity has been sparked to make you want to engage in a friendly correspondence with a fallin souljah.
