“It makes brilliant practice for someone like myself who doesn’t really write letters, as it seems the more I write, the more I enjoy taking part in communicating viamail. I’d just like to say that I wish I had the opportunity to take part in this type of scheme four years ago when I was away for three months as it’s real nice to get to know someone through writing letters, it’s certainly something to look forward to, for sure. Thankyou for the penfriend you gave me, I’m very grateful for your service.”

“Being a penfriend has helped me get through rough times and being able to talk about normal day to day things and not prison life all the time. More offenders should have this as I believe that it would prevent people getting institutionalised. Give them a way of knowing there is a life outside prison.” |

“I’ve found Xxx a great support, through her replies to my letters. I was able to share problems with someone outside the Prison Service. We talked in our letters, interesting topics. I think Prisoners’ Penfriends is a good way to stay connected to the outside world so I’m glad I used the service. Thankyou.”

“It’s meant a lot to have a penfriend to write to as my friends aren’t really friends I want when I’m out or should I say they are only your friends when I’m out and not in here. And my family don’t write so it’s meant a lot to me.Thank you. I think they should have Prisoners’ Penfriends in every prison so that people like myself have a chance to be able to write to people. Thankyou again. It means a lot.”

“This is a brilliant thing to do for prisoners who have no one to write to. Long may it continue and I would like to say thankyou.”
