African American Shawn Sheppard – Inmate Penpal #101610-1709

 November 7, 2010  ¤  Male Inmates Age 36 - 40

My name is Shawn Sheppard and I am interested in receiving correspondence from females as well as males who is able to keep me up to date on changes on the outside and who have the ability to encourage a young man who unfortunately is incarcerated at this time.

I like rap, hip-hop, easy listening, rock and roll, gospel music. Actually, I like all music depending on the mood and circumstance.

I am a Christian who is still struggling to discover God’s will for MY life. I would appreciate any encouragement I can get in this area.


African American Darnell James Wilson – Inmate Penpal #110210-1902

 November 2, 2010  ¤  Male Inmates Age 31 - 35, Prison Penpals Serving Life

Darnell goes by the nickname of D.J. since birth. He loves his son more than anything. He is interested in and has attempted to become Catholic, but was rejected because of tattoos, before he knew better.

He wants to learn more about the Faith from a gentle, faithful and virtuous perspective. D.J. is a “forgiver”. I suppose it is a gift. He forgives everyone everything. He dreams of living a normal life with his son and passing on the Tradition of the Faith.

My name is Randy Lyons. I am 21 years of age and have been incarcerated since November, 17 2008 and will remain here Im told until 2011, in which I am told that I will be released to go to a half way house.

At that time I will continue to put my life back together as in getting a job and futhering my education. Truly I understand it was me who got myself into this situation. For this I will make no excuses or complaints for my ignorance or unconcious mistake which landed me here in the first place.

I do have a praying very supportive and loving mother and older brother which whom I know loves me very much and I love them also, we have an awsome bond that will never flee.
