Everything You Need To Know About Inmate Love Letters

Dealing with a partner being incarcerated can be difficult in many ways. It can be tough to keep a romantic relationship going. Communication is limited. All the rules and guidelines about inmate visitation and inmate calling can be overwhelming. The list goes on.

DoNotPay can make these hardships easier and help you draft and send your love letter to a prisoner.

My Partner Is in Jail—What Can I Do?

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Even in a painful situation such as when someone you love is incarcerated, this quote can be true. The key ingredient in finding a silver lining here is communication. There are many prisoners who seek love and friendship and use apps like PrisonPenPals and Write A Prisoner in order to have a connection with someone on the outside. You can be this connection—showing love and support—to your loved one in jail by:

• Visiting them
• Writing a letter
• Sending photos
• Sending packages
• Talking on the phone

What To Keep in Mind Before Sending Prison Love Letters

When days in prison get gloomy, a loving gesture—especially a love letter—can go a long way.

Just like any letter, sending a love letter to prison comes with several mail rules and regulations. Check out what to do and what not to do before mailing your letter of love:

In terms of the content of the love letter, aside from not saying anything illegal or connected to the prisoner’s case, sexual innuendos are usually unacceptable. Some women have reported that the prison staff only scans the letters for suspicious keywords and tolerates sexual messages.

Writing Love Letters to Prison Inmates—What To Say?

Pouring your heart and soul on paper is definitely not easy. If you think you’re not talented enough to transform your emotions into words, you can always start small. Here are some ideas on what to write about in your love letters:

• Talk about your daily life
• Ask questions about their day
• Say how much you miss them
• Discuss a book, movie, or a TV show
• Motivate them to exercise and eat healthily
• Encourage them to keep going and be patient
• Include inspirational quotes or write from the heart
• Write their favorite poem or song, or write your own
• Tell them they are not alone, support and comfort them
• Add a joke or a lighthearted story and make them laugh
• Share some news about yourself, the family, or the world
• Describe activities you’ll do together once they come out
• Play a game—write a puzzle, a riddle, an interesting question
