Can i write an inmate, that doesnt know me, to uplift them with some positive words?

I would like to see if I can write to an inmate that doesn't know me but ive been following his court proceedings. and I don't care if he is found guilty but he just looks like he needs a little positivity in his life. we all make mistakes and bad choices.

Yes, you can, and you have some good reasoning behind wanting to do so.

Yes, you can, and you have some good reasoning behind wanting to do so. We encourage you to write using our Letter Service, it keeps your personal address anonymous. If he wants to write you back, he can do so to our address and we scan the mail and place it in your Account Dashboard under "Letters from Inmates".
