Posted: 4/2/2006 10:00:20 AM | | If I knew the person before they went to prison then I could write to them, they would still be my friend ( unless they did something real bad) but to just answer one of those prison penpal ads, not a chance. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 10:01:23 AM | | oh right ,they are all innocent.WHATEVER.They are there for a reason and writing to someone is ok i guess but i wouldn`t do it unless i already knew them before.It also depends what they are in for.What gets to me is people breaking the law over and over again while they have children. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 11:00:10 AM | | I had a church friend in her late 20's marry an old neighborhood friend. She had gone through a sad divorce. Two years later she married this guy who was in for 35 to life. He had already done 7 years. She told me after she was married to this guy. I asked why she didn't tell about this situation before she got married. She said I would try to talk her out of it. She was right. I haven't heard from her in 8 years. I think women who have never been exposed to convicts and a con mentality are push overs for this type of downfall. Why don't these men stick with women who have had same prison background ? Because those women will see right through their con ways. Although, there is a small percentage of straight and naive women who prefer a con man. Maybe their dad or mom was one. Old habits. There will always be those women who are prey to these types of men. No person can change another person. If a person has proven after 12 months they don't do any criminal behavior, the percent is a low percent they won't fall back to their criminal ways. Check the FBI statistics on this for yourself folks. | |

If you are talking about meeting people on an inmate dating site, I wrote a great blog article about how ludicrous THAT is. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 5:29:45 PM | There was a Seinfeld show about George being pen-pals with a woman in prison. He was allowed to visit her at times. When Jerry asked him why he chose a prison inmate as a girlfriend Geoarge said he always knew where she was at night. He didn't have to worry about her sleeping with another guy. He could go out with his friends Friday night without being nagged.
He put forth a compelling argument. | |

Hey ... law abiders need love to. [sic]
not every 'law abider' deserves it.
The reality is that most people in prison are not bad people. There's nothing wrong with corresponding with them, provided it's done with common sense. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 10:47:25 PM | sex crimes are... a completely different ballpark. i hope those people die, i dont care if their your brother, there is nothing worse and nothing lower than someone who has raped someone.

Posted: 4/2/2006 11:01:48 PM | | Criminals are morons. And even bigger idiots if they got caught. No I wouldn't write someone in prison. They get too much as it is...Club Fed. They should be working while in prison...building parks...cleaning rivers...building shoes or cameras in factories. Let them contribute to society instead of being burden. | |

Over 99% of people in prison are eventually released.
For those of you who are contemptuous towards those in prison, I can only hope that one day *you* are falsely convicted and sentenced to a prison term. Perhaps then you'll grow to understand what really takes place behind the wall. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 11:47:43 PM | Spincycle, I agree with you on this one for sure. I have had some experiance with one criminal, however; she was a woman criminal. She took me for 128,000.00 after I helped her in many many many ways. I don't ever ever ever want to get involved with another criminal again. The problem with writing to men or women in prison is that sometimes they do get out and then if they know you through your own writings then guess whos coming to dinner LOL! They will show up at your doorstep. Here is something else that hasn't been mentioned in this thread that needs to be addressed: People don't usually go right to prison the first time they do some crime..........that means that if you are communicating with a prisoner, the chances are that they have done many many many crimes before they actually got sent up. The courts nowadays give a person many many chances before they actually have to go to prison. So, the chances are they don't learn from their mistakes or they wouldn't be there, or they did such a terrible crime that they got sent up the first time. Does anyone that writes to a criminal believe that what the criminal is writing to them is the truth? The criminal that I knew lied when the truth made lots more sense. She lied about taking the trash out, the weather, her family, how much money she stole out of my wallet.............you name it and she lied about it. Let the criminals "befriend" their own. If you are smart you would run from people that are in prison. There is just no tellling what kind of evil thing will happen to a person that befriends a criminal. They might get out of prison and come stay with you for a few days and you wake up tied to the bed with him "doing" you. Please don't be stupid, run from prisoners.
People don't go to prison for small stuff, believe me! If it was a small thing then it was after multiple small things. I have heard of many many women that have fallen for criminals, and I can not think of one good thing that has ever come of it. Many lonely women end up committing crimes in the hope that they can get their man out of the slammer, but many end up either going to jail themselves or even dying in the process of trying to free their man illegally. It just isn't worth it. If there is a woman that is that lonely that she feels she needs to write to a criminal,please find another way to find a man that isn't a criminal. Your life depends on it.

Yea, I second that.
my brother is doing a 5 year bit for a double B&E. since hes been in prison ( by the way, hes a 18 year old kid), hes had his hip yanked out of its socket, he was stomped in the neck, until it broke, had 4 surgeries already
He did the crime, now he's gotta do the time. Let's hope he reforms himself when he gets out. | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 2:04:10 AM | | Same as Richard Ramiros.... creepy at best that women would even consider writing a convicted rapist. | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 2:05:04 AM | ...it's not quantity that matters, people, it's QUALITY. Who care's if a mass-murderer
gets hundreds of letters.....what character of people are writing them love letters
anyway? Nobody I'd date or want emailing me. | |
|

Posted: 4/3/2006 2:09:49 AM | | I don't want them e-mailing me either, its just odd that any one would write letters to mass murderists or rapists. | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 2:59:41 AM | sure, all in prison are NOT innocent
as the 'joke' goes
but, guess what?...
they aren't ALL guilty EITHER
'crime is not an option-so NEVER'???
just being in the wrong place at the right time/right place WRONG time?
well...being a WHITE FEMALE-probly NOT a risk, for YOU | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 3:04:30 AM | Ok, aside from being at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong DNA
on your clothes and the wrong skin colour & sex......let's just say NEVER for me too! | |
