Pen Pal Ads

These ads are primarily from prisoners. Please take the time to select an ad (or more than one) and write to a prisoner. Make sure to use the address exactly as given here, including ID number, or mail will not get through.

This is intended as a page for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer prisoners, but not all people with ads here may identify as such, and no assumptions are to be made.

Although some people have apprehensions about doing so, I have written to prisoners for years and have never had any problems; rather, I have had very rewarding correspondences. -- Larry-bob.

I am a single male in search of correspondence. My name is Leslie but most people just call me Les. I'm 6 ft and 210 lbs. I have low cut black hair and brown eyes. I've got a few tattoos and a few piercings. I have a couple of photos of myself for anyone who may be interested. I'm 31 years old, I'll be 32 on the 12th of February. I was born and raised in a small town by the name of Dallas, Texas. I enjoy reading, working out, and music. I'm extremely laid back and open-minded and dislike very little. I received a seven year sentence for possession of ecstasy (1/2 a pill). I've been gone since April of 2005 and as of now my release date is March 18, 2008. I would like to thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

I have a shiney bald head, goatee, a defined body with chizeled abs, and I'm 33 yrs old. I'm currently seking for either a gay white, or asian male that's open-minded, loving and caring, loyal, and non-judgmental. I'm looking for someone who is kind and patient, and understanding.

Age catagory must be 35-50, size and looks doesn't matter to me, as long as you're real from the heart, and have an appetite to get to know me. The qualities I just mentioned I also possess as well, and some. Feel free to respond back - I won't bite, but I need someone who is sincere, and don't play games! Thank you, David.
