PRISON PEN PALS

Hi ladies, my name is Torie and I'm one of many God's gifts to this earth. I'm looking for someone that's open minded and willing to learn as well as teach new things. I'm looking to build a friendship with someone that can possibly lead to something more. I'm not looking for a woman to take care of me, nor am I trying to use a woman for financial reasons. Looks and face isn't an issue for me because a woman's beauty can be shown through her personality. I'm originally from Queens, New York, but now I reside in Virginia due to the mistakes in life that I've learned from. Ladies hit me up if you're looking to meet a swagged-out, intelligent, and handsome man.

Hello,

I'm a 37-year-old extraordinary open-minded man who enjoys a wide variety of activities. I especially enjoy meeting mentally stimulating new people. I consider myself extremely good in the art of communication. I'm also ambitious, free spirited, driven, focused, intelligent, diligent, and spontaneous and I'm romantic as well. I spend a lot of my time reading and utilizing the library. I consider myself a work in progress meaning I'm constantly trying to learn new things. I don't mind traveling to new places around the world because I'm a firm believer in seeing what all life has to offer because we only live once. I have a good sense of humor and I'm very compassionate to a woman's feelings as well. I'm seeking someone that is a true lady, mature, fun loving, spontaneous and adventurous, mind stimulating and educated and confident to build a unique friendship with. So if you are a woman that is seeking a good listener in a God-fearing man who loves to give you all his attention, then I may be the friend for you. Race is not important so feel free to respond and I will respond back.

Sincerely yours,

I'm looking for someone whose intentions and heart are as pure as mine...I'm a simple man with simple dreams...who seeks friendship with someone who understands the true sense of its meaning and accepts people for what is in their hearts and not in their past.

As you know...I'm currently not in a situation I like to advertise...although I am a firm believer in making the best out of a bad situation. So on that note I'm asking for your friendship in hopes of establishing a relationship that goes beyond these concrete walls that I now call home.

I'm looking for someone who is adventurous and open to trying new things. Someone who is also outgoing...understanding...caring...sweet...and most importantly sincere, with a little extra time to share with this simple man who loves life to the fullest! If you feel you fit the description and are able to share some of your precious time and extend your heart in friendship...then let's set this friendship in motion.

With that said...let me hope my few words and thoughts touch you the same way I would in person...which is with the utmost respect and sincerity.

As you read my last words let me hope I've somehow found my way into your heart and into your thoughts with a lasting impression.

Sincerely,
Michael Amarillas

Hello!

First, I hope that this find you well.

Second, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

A little about me: After being incarcerated for the past 11 years, I'm close to my release date. Because I'm determined to steer my life in a better direction, I've had to let go of the old friends and old lifestyle. I'm on this website because I'm interested in meeting new friends who will be positive influences and true friends.

Some of my main interests are: Motorcycle and horseback riding, nature, animals, cooking and traveling. I also have a passion to work with young people once I'm released and try to help keep them from coming to prison. I'm really looking forward to a new start in life!

As I close this, I hope that you have a great day and week. I also hope to hear from you!

All the best

"My Introduction To You"
by Richard Houston Torro Penwarden

Though we may come from two worlds, our thinking is of the same.
Many mistakes in our earlier years, as aging, are becoming tame

Though our past is easy to look at, not healthy to dwell on it much
It's easier to turn to alcohol, but it's only a generic crutch!

Yes, alcohol and drugs are easy; as staying sober is a stress
But continuing in this unseen addiction, our lives are becoming a mess

The Devil and his angels keep forcing these addictions our way
Without asking for God's help, in these prisons we will stay!

Although I am incarcerated, prison is also on the streets
As many are hooked on drugs, buying crack as if packaged treats!

I only write this now, hoping to meet anyone I can
But "not" creating this poetry, I truly would not be a man!

As this is my new talent and I choose to share my shame
Hoping my twenty years in prison will prove to you it's no game!

Though sincerely I admit, I am sometimes still a mess
Yet, I've taken upon my shoulders to just tell you, "God bless!"

I was an alcoholic, now sober for 18 years, I just need "self-forgiveness." Hope to hear from anyone who "believes" in "rehabilitation"?

I love music (Cher, Madonna, Tina Turner, Journey, C. Lauper, Quiet Riot, Bangles, Beach Boys, most of all 70s and 80s music. Rick Springfield, Genesis. I love basketball, football, baseball.

To the person who captures my message with their eyes and thoughts! Please read this with caution as my intentions are pure only to develop and nurture any possible friendships.

There are great things I want to achieve, "hopefully together" as goals are made to be conquered and accomplished...I'm a man who's experienced failure big time at the lowest depth possible, confined against my own will for my wrongs in society! As I travel this journey alone I'm focused and determined to crawl, walk or climb my way back to the free world a better man.

If you can hear me and understand me and my passion, please don't hesitate to share your world with me as I only require you bring joy, sunshine and happiness to this new beginning we have created.

I do not judge or discriminate and desire to meet all walks of life, share with me the free world you live in as I'm disabled from that life! Spread your wings and step in my direction as life and opportunities fade faster than water in the desert!

With all my respect,

Hey You!!! Allow me a minute of your time to introduce myself. My name is Luis but have been called a couple "colorful names" along the way. I'm 28 years young, proud Mexican, Sagittarius, loyal, charismatic and upbeat. Full of life and personality.

I'm looking for that someone who can add the brightness to my days, bring me a breath of fresh air and make me feel alive. Exchange many thoughts and have someone to laugh with, making this journey of mine, an amazing one.

All the while "me" being of the same help to you (strangers are only friends we don't take the time to meet).

So "don't" be shy or think twice about it and drop in on me. Take a chance, what's there to lose besides gain a friend.

There's a lot more I'd love to say but not enough space. I'll be anxiously awaiting your conversation. "Oh" and uh! Most importantly you have to be funny.

Sincerely,
A New Friend

I have placed this ad with the expectations of meeting and networking with new friends and old associates through steady, honest communication. Race, religion, geographical location, body type, age...none of this matters to me. All that matters is that you are receptive to opening a genuine line of communication with me.

I am presently serving a lengthy sentence, but my case is currently under review, and I have good reason to believe I will be home soon. I like to laugh and find a measure of joy however, and whenever I can. Romance is not necessarily on my agenda, but I am indeed single and open to whatever may develop.

If you are interested in communicating with me please be sure to include any contact information with your response. I have access to text messaging/e-mail; and prepaid phone calls which cost you NOTHING.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who's sincerely looking to build something new. Until we link PLEASE know that I am anxiously awaiting your response.

Sincerely,

My name is Matt. I am 29 years old and am from Sacramento, California. I have a 2-1/2-year-old son who was born on Halloween day, how cool is that. I am a commercial plumber and I love it. Building stuff is just the greatest thing in the world. Other things I enjoy doing are watching movies and my favorite TV show is Family Guy. I enjoy doing things outdoors, summer is the best time of the year for me. I don't really like sports, the closest thing to sports that I play is Frisbee golf. Dogs & cats are my favorite animals. There really isn't much I don't like. I'm very easygoing. What I'm looking for with this ad is to meet a nice girl and spend the next year and a half getting to know that girl for who she is. When I get out of prison next year, it sure would be nice to get out to a special someone to settle down with and enjoy life with. Please don't let my picture fool you, I do have tattoos, but I don't try to be someone I'm not. I have a huge caring heart, and now I also have hair. Well that's all for me. If you're reading my ad don't be afraid to write, I would love to hear from you. Even if it's for a friend.

Bye.

Funny, outgoing and creative.

Entrepreneur with an open mind. A doer, Aries to the core. Making life interesting and learning from it regardless of the circumstances. Not concerned with labels. My friends include all walks of life. Believing in an equal balance of fun, finance, fitness and of course love. Honesty is another quality that has a lot of value to me.

Although contradictory to society norms, I enjoy being inside and outdoors equally, hiking or running, staying home watching a movie, even reading sometimes. I'm down for whatever.

I love music and jam out to my radio constantly. My taste varies wildly, completely depending on the moment.

My body is adorned with tattoos and piercings. There's a craziness to me and a sarcastic wit that most people find hilarious. People around me usually have a great time.

I run my own business in here, currently writing a book and also going to college for a paralegal degree. Helps that I'm Jewish. Business and law, it's in my blood. I love meeting new people. And I admit I'm a sucker for a girl with a great smile. Please send a picture if you write. And I'll do my best to make you smile.

~ Peace

Hi, my name is Arturo Vasquez, but most people call me "Tury." I'm 5'6", 32 years old, a cancer, and I'm from New Mexico. I'm looking for a female, 18 years and over to correspond with, one that is sincere and not into mind games. Looks don't make the woman, so I consider that to be a small factor. It's what's in a woman's heart and soul that really matters. I believe that life is too short, so we have to enjoy every moment we can. I like listening to all kinds of music and I like working out and keeping myself physically fit. I'm a fun person and easy to relate with. I told you a little about myself, now I would like to hear from and know about you.

I've decided to place this ad, being I've recently learned I'll be released this year due to changing of the Rockefeller Drug Laws. Once I'm called back to court, my sentence will be reduced to time served. I feel so blessed and loved by God to be given this second chance at life, after the long list of stupid choices I've made. But honestly it took such a sentence in order for me to become a better man. I would've never been able to accomplish things, such as a diploma or other accomplishments that required focusing, due to the many distractions that came with that lifestyle. I'm pretty much just looking for a friend for now, and who knows, possibly a significant other if God does decide to bless me with a woman who's able to overlook the person I once was, and accept the man I am today. Don't laugh, but there are positives to dating someone on parole, such as him knowing one call to his p.o. by you could easily have his butt locked back up,making any man with a little common sense know it's in his best interest to never get on your bad side! Damn! I hope this doesn't backfire, and have me like the male version of "Whoopi Goldberg" from that movie "The Color Purple." I'm currently taking (computer repair) classes, and have been studying (Biblical Theology) for most of my time in prison. I've participated in a lot of (Biblical) motivational speaking, aimed at young men who come from backgrounds such as myself. I also write music, which one of my dreams is to become a "Ghost Writer" for aspiring, or already established artists. My bigger dream is to go to school to become an "L.P.N." once I'm released, God willing. I'm 32; Scorpio; no kids; well-mannered; don't smoke; incarcerated since 2004. Your race doesn't matter, nor your physical attributes. I find sincerity more attractive than both! And yes, I do know the importance of honesty and trust! And speaking of honesty, this may be a turnoff for some, but unfortunately I'm far from rich. But what I can offer is an honest man, who has no problem working two jobs to support his family. A man who knows what hardship and endurance is, and won't leave you at the first sign of tough times. A man who appreciates simple things, like buying enough goodies to last a weekend, and just staying in together snuggled up, watching DVD's, acting silly! Or a man who is confident enough in his position as a man to not feel threatened by a dominant woman, who chooses to call the shots in a relationship, until she feels comfortable enough in his decision-making. Or a man who doesn't consider it unmanly turning the tables, and waiting on his woman hand and foot, or even rubbing her feet for her. It's so much more I would like to say in this ad to express who I am, but most importantly who I no longer am! If there is one woman interested, don't worry about what to write. A basic introduction and photo's enough. (Polaroids and e-mail not allowed). Promise I'll write back!

Now that your eyes have landed on my profile I encourage you to take the time to read my formal introduction. And once you read between the lines you come to find out my realness & down-to-earth qualities. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there's more than what meets the eye.

Given the situation I'm currently in I'm hoping to find someone with ambitions & fun atmosphere. I myself am a man who enjoys the company of a fun, energetic woman. I'm strictly business when needed, but also up for a good time. I'm humble & honest. In all reality I'm looking for someone like me, living in my own world, in my own degree. But it has also been said opposites attract so I'm giving this a shot.

Like I said this is just the tip of the iceberg & keep in mind that waters run deep!

Hello out there. I'm Tyrone, originally from D.C., and I'm single. I'm a gifted musician and singer, sometimes sarcastic, always straightforward, but gentle and compassionate. I'm God-fearing, and striving to get better. I'm funny, romantic, independent, and I treasure loyalty and commitment. I like comedy, and I'm interested in Civil Rights. I love Gospel music, R&B, and jazz. My favorite movie of all time is Antwon Fisher. My favorite books are legal thrillers and the Bible.

I would like to meet anyone who is ready for some intelligent conversation, who is looking for a friend; somebody with an open mind, who doesn't run from a challenge.

Being in here doesn't make me a bad person. I made a bad decision, and I am paying for it by losing my liberty. But I haven't lost my desire for a better life. I'm taking correspondence courses so that I can bring something to the table when I ask somebody to hire me. And I want a family of my own someday.

If you decide to write me, I will write you back. Until then, take care.

Another thing I love, but miss, is being around family and friends. I am thankful for every lesson learned, even the really hard ones.

If you are interested in getting to know someone like me, whether short or long term, then please check me out. I would like to hear from good people with good hearts. Write me a letter or drop me a post card to get things started.
