Thank you for writing with us 2024/25--
​we sent almost 750 cards with your help!

Write cards with us to celebrate the season! Reaching across the bars is important any time of year, but this holiday season, more than 12,000 people are incarcerated in prisons, jails, and a detention center in Massachusetts. Depression, anger, and numbing are common reactions to spending the holiday season and new year in a place that denies your ability to change. People often feel disposable, and the years may have cut them off from family, friends, and any support they had on the outside.

Help us reach across bars and send the message that people inside are remembered and loved. Cards like ours may be the only mail our members-- who are largely LGBTQ+, elders, or longtimers (or all three)-- receive this year.

After you sign up, you'll receive information about becoming a prison penpal, why we're sending cards, ideas for what to worite, and info on mail rules, along with however many members you request. ​
