Can I ask why you would do that?
I would think it would be pretty dangerous... If you were writing to a psycho killer... then he'd know your address!
But then again... it would brighten some prisoners day! I don't know any websites...
Sorry! But good luck and be very very careful!!

No! It's not dangerous at all. In fact, there's a special website that has been specifically made just to support this wonderful outreach to those in prison who need a pen pal. It's: http://www.penisland.net/

Pen Island: where all your Pen Pal needs are met. : - D

I write to a prisoner all the time.... Of course he was my boyfriend before he was ever falsley imprisoned! It's been safe for me... I would assume it is in a lot of instances. However my situation is circumstantial.
