African American Moses Canady – Inmate Penpal #071012-0842

 July 10, 2012  ¤  Male Inmates Age 31 - 35

Just as the sky is blue and the grass is green, so too are the absolutes of my life.

I’m a very straightforward person who, through the grace of God, I arise each morning from my sleep with a prayer to greet another blessed day I’m able to enjoy and make the most of. An average day for me begins with breakfast, going to work as a unit orderly, teaching a spiritual development class (usually in the afternoon).

After class, I workout to stay in shape, then maybe a little evening TV viewing, and I cap off the night with a group prayer at 9pm. At the 10pm lockdown, I enjoy reading and listening to music till I fall asleep. Though my routine stays consistent, each day is not the same. And like the history channel, my past started with me being born and raised in Fresno, California until I was

I’m looking to meet you, teach you and learn from you…

Age, race, shape and size of a person does not affect my thought process. I’m just looking for a smile in you, and hopefully you can find a smile in me. Am I worth a few minutes of your time? A letter from you will answer this question for me. I will be patiently waiting to hear from you.

Do you know the feeling of loneliness? Being stuck in a place where you are misunderstood. It hurts me every day being


African American Gerald Lewis – Inmate Penpal #062412-1038

 June 24, 2012  ¤  Male Inmates Age 41 - 45, Prison Penpals Serving Life

With a perpetuance for excitement I have lived a crazy life.

My motivation has always been two things… money and women. By combining the two it guaranteed me an exciting journey filled with pain and pleasure. As a result I have made many bad choices so it’s imperative that I reconstruct myself from the inside out if I expect to salvage what little life I have left.

Even though I’m comfortable with who I am now, I still believe everyone has room for improvement. Change is not easy and people will often encounter distractions in all forms. At this point a person’s opinion of me is not relevant. In my life I have always done things others have deemed controversial, intensive or immoral. So the opinions of a few people in a world filled with


African American Robert Butts – Inmate Penpal #062212-0939

 June 22, 2012  ¤  Death Row Prison Penpals, Male Inmates Age 31 - 35

I believe that true friendship is the medicine of life and I’m writing this ad with hopes of finding just that…

Hope keeps me hanging on and pressing forward towards a positive change, without it I’d be lost. Success seems to be a matter of hard work and endurance, and that’s what I am about.

Hello, my name is Robert Butts and I was arrested when I was 18 years old and sent to Death Row at the age of 21. I have been here ever since.


African American Miles Thomas – Inmate Penpal #061812-0735

 June 18, 2012  ¤  Male Inmates Age 26 - 30

My name is Miles Jefferson Thomas II and I am 30 years old, I am from Houston Texas.

I am seeking friends to write and get to know, hoping we can motivate and inspire each other. I am currently incarterated for assault and bodily injury to police but, honestly it was self defense.

I was attacked by three county jail deputies, and I made the choice to fight back. I do regret my choice because I have to be away from my two beautiful little girls till I am granted parole or I finish my sentence.

I love my children so much, and it kills me to be away from them like this, please keep them and me in your prayers.
