   Write a prisoner in special need .    
We are engaging in a special campaign to get penpals for the specially needy. This is a time of budget cuts that translate into much less family support for prisoners while resources indside prison are stretched.. In addition, since mental hospitals closed in the 80's,the prisons ahve become warehouses of our mentally ill citizens.

As stated elsewhere, we offer forwarding service of yu do nontwant to use your real address with the prisonser, and we are available for support as you discover penapalling with prisosners. It is very rewarding.
