Please scroll through the lists below and choose a pen-pal!
These are lists of queer and trans folks in prison who are in search of others to write them. There is no mention of what they were convicted of because the prison industrial complex is set up to imprison all sorts of people regardless of what they possibly could have done on the outside. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know someone and provide support to some one in great need of friendship and attention!  You can read quick bios, search and filter based on gender/sex, sexuality, race, age, type of pen-pal friendships sought etc.

Lists of prisoners seeking pen-pals:

• Entire List
• In Solitary Confinement (could be up to 23 hours a day with no human contact in small cell)
