build community
One letter can change a life.
Our MISSION
Prison inmates are frequently forgotten by society and even their family members and those who were once their friends. Our mission is to promote friendship, understanding, and community through providing an anonymous letter service for inmates in prison.

"Thank you so very much for writing. Letters from outside help so many of us out. I do my best to stay in contact with everyone and to spread any hope I can generate to all around me. But I am but one person. Letters like yours count for 10 times more effect than any one action I can perform to help others."
