Straight Emmanuel Grant – Inmate Penpal #082913-0315

 August 29, 2013  ¤  Male Inmates Age 36 - 40

I will be released from prison in a few years.

I’m just looking to meet some nice people in order to build some lasting friendships. I’ve been incarcerated since I was sixteen years old. I come from a broken home and practically raised myself. My mother was an addict and my dad was a no-show, so I grew up in foster homes before my grandmother gained custody.

In my grandmother’s home, I became a victim of sexual, physical and mental abuse. I was molested by a female cousin, and I was abused nearly every other way by everyone else in our household.

I tried to tell my grandmother, but she dismissed my claims and this caused me to lose trust. I started spending more

Hello out there.

I’m a lonely petite and pretty female seeking someone who is real and honest to be my best friend in this dark, lonely place. Someone to be my sunshine in the rain.

I’m interested in meeting someone who is understanding, passionate, down-to-earth and knows how to have fun and enjoy life, because I like to laugh and have a good time.

I enjoy doing things for fun here such as scrabble, crosswords and reading. I like to write and


Straight Marbel Mendoza – Inmate Penpal #081413-1128

 August 14, 2013  ¤  Death Row Prison Penpals, Male Inmates Age 46 - 50

My name is Marbel Mendoza.

I am currently on Florida’s Death Row since 1995. I was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. Now 46 years old. I left Cuba in 1980 together with my parents, arriving in this country in 1982 after 2 years in Peru.

I am the only child my beloved parents had. Sadly, both my beautiful parents have passed. God knows how much I miss and need them; and never stop thinking about them. But I am comforted to know they are in a much better place.

I am just looking for a pen-friend. Someone who will be willing to write to me and help me brighten these lonely days. Someone who is fun, loving, caring, compassionate and understanding. I truly hope quite frankly to gain a sincere and loyal friend


Straight Steven Owens – Inmate Penpal #081413-0613

 August 14, 2013  ¤  Male Inmates Age 41 - 45

I was born in Chicago, Illinois.

I left my mothers house when I was fifteen years old because I thought I was grown. Started selling drugs for an income, then I was off the streets. At the same time I was hanging with some so-called friends and someone got killed. I was blamed for it.

I served six years but, before being incarcerated in 1995 I met my future wife. She was the love of my life. After getting released in 2002 I found her and we got married. We had five kids. We were living a nice life till this happened.

I got re-arrested and now I don’t have my family. My wife said she can’t do this time without me by her


Straight Charnae Harris – Inmate Penpal #081213-0318

 August 12, 2013  ¤  Female Inmates Age 21 - 25

It’s been a while since I have really analyzed myself, but now I am faced with that challenge.

I realize that I have changed in the past five years. Now I have greater expectations, goals, wishes and exiting dreams. The greatest realization is that I have learned to live life. I can now appreciate all the opportunities I previously took for granted.

I enjoy singing and performing; not to impress others, but to entertain them. I enjoy nature and the refreshing healthy atmosphere offered at beaches. I look forward with great anticipation to try anything new that may offer physical and mental stimuli.

I enjoy being with other people and sometimes someone special on my outings. I don’t know
