Why do you write a prisoner?

Hei igjen, og god sommer!

Jeg liker WriteAPrisoner.com sin Facebook-side, og der inne legger de ut en et eller annet så og si hver dag. I dag stilte de spørsmålet, "Why do you write a prisoner?" og en del har valgt å svare på det. Tenkte det bare kunne være litt til inspirasjon om noen er i tankefasen.

Ja, en del av svarene er i denne gaten:
"I wrote bc I know mail call is so much better when they hear their name. Mine is now the love of my life and we are getting married..."

"That prisoner is now my husband"

"because i would try it and now i have found my man !!!"

Fra WriteAPrisoner.coms Facebook-side

MEN det er så absolutt ikke alle som sier dette. Majoriteten heller mer mot dette:
"I do because I want to know the person behind the 'prisoner'"

"Friendship without judgement"

"1. To help reduce the recidivism rate. 2. Because everybody needs and deserves someone to talk to."

"I have had PP in the past but thought writing to an inmate would be more rewarding and now I know how much it means to them when their name is called at mail time makes it all worth while."

"So worth the friendships you make through writing I couldn't ask for any better friends I have made through your website"

"1) to lower recidivism rates, 2) for him to feel like he has at least one person who will listen to him non-judgementally, 3) to get to know my pp's true self regardless of what he's done"

Det er givende å skrive med dem rett og slett, og den "friendship without judgement", den er så sann. Og vet dere, når de hører navnet sitt under "mail call"... det lyser virkelig opp dagen deres utrolig mye.

Interessert? Prøv det da vel! Jeg har i alle fall ikke angret dette valget så mye som ett sekund.
