to the editor
Dear Sir:
I'd like to tell you abouf a
program that matches citi
zens outside of prison.. .with
men. women and children
serving sentences in prisons
in nearly every state of our
nation. The program is
called: Prison Pen Pals, and
it is completing its second
successful year of operation
This is no* a lonely hearts
dub...but is intended to get
ordinary people of all ages
and sexes involved with
persons inside prison who
may no longer have family
and friends outside to help
motivate them toward change.
The program began in Cin
cinnati. Ohio two years ago
with the help of the Cin-
Program is
matching over 500 citizens
and convicts each month. But
the program desperately
needs more concerned people
on the outside writing to
prisoners on the inside. A
Prison Pen Pal Bulletin will
be mailed free to any person
who cares to receive one. It
sets forth the rules and
guidelines on bow to write to
prisoners... and lists hund
reds of prisoners who want to
receive mail from the outside.
If you know of any person
who wants to receive this
Prison Pen Pal Bulletin, just
wrife to Prison Fen Pals. Bax
1217, Cincinnati. Ohio 45202
I have been involved with
this program and have made
some very neat friends
through it. I feel that every
ounce of energy expended is
well worth it. If you want
more information, just con
tact Mr. Lou Torok. the
director, at Box 1217, Cin
cinnati. Ohio 45202.. .or write
to me at the this address
Sincerely,
C. Koke McBain.
