What is the best website for a female inmate to find pen pals?

James, I am not sure who, "she" is or how long she is going to be in prison. I am going to start with providing an answer that relates to someone who is eventually going to released...not a lifer. First, option and she probably does not to want to hear this is she needs to build upon the relationships on the outside that will be there for her upon eventual release. I am talking about individuals, friends and family in the area she will be released too, such as you James. Frequent communication with them is much better than trying to find pen pals who are total strangers. I don’t want to sound hard but what good is it for her to send countless emails/time in communicating with someone who is not even near where she is going to be release. How are they going to help here, be supportive of her, etc. when she is released if the live in another state or even another country.   Now if she has no friends/relatives she needs to reach out to groups such as The Pennsylvania Prison Society (http://www.prisonsociety.org/contactus.shtml) who may be able to help her find individuals in her area that work with offenders upon their release, whom she can start communicating with. Now if she is custody for life, I would still advocate she reach out to friend/relatives she knows, who are more likely to visit her in prison or provide support to her as opposed to a total stranger via pen pal. If she is looking for a forum to discuss her experiences, might I suggestion, if she is allowed , to establish a blog. It is unlikely she could post directly to a blog, but she could request a friend/relative set it up for her. She could provide hard copy of her posts, which the friend/relative would have to post for her. In this way she could post her thoughts experiences and may get responses back, as comments to her blog. She could, if not in custody for a sex offense, have someone create a Facebook page for her for the same purpose. However, these are going to require someone willing to receive her hard copy and put the information on the web for her, depending upon the institution she is at. Here is a link for a prison blog.http://prisonlinks.com/inmate_sites_and_blogs Again, this is why I think she should devote her energies to communicating with those she had some kind of relationship with her or are devoted to helping inmates. Building on those relationships will help her in the long run.   Additionally, I would be concerned that if she started a pen pal relationship with a "stranger" that focuses on female inmates, that they might be looking for something else. I can see someone with a predator mind set looking to establish a relationship with a female inmate, who is vulnerable and taking advantage of her upon her release. Again, she should reach out to groups such as I mentioned above.   Also, why not reach out to your friends/family as possible contacts for her to communicate with? Check out this website to help set up contacts via e-mail for her, if her institution allows it: Prison http://Mail.org, http://www.prisonmail.org/main/index.php.   Finally, this occurred to me as I was wrapping up.... There really might not be a "female inmate" and you James are in fact looking to find a resource to communicate with female inmates yourself. If you truly want to help offenders, connect with your local agencies and ask to volunteer. Of course, they are not going to let you just focus on female offenders.   As a side, and I am not implying that this what you are about James, but anyone who is looking to connect with inmates, who they have no previous relationship, specifically to develop a personal relationship, as intimate, is probably heading for heartache... or looking to cause headache, neither of which I would recommend, encourage, and/or support. It is one thing to want to help inmates, improve their conditions, it is entirely another to seem them as a "captive" dating pool. Take care and good luck to you and your friend.
