Today, I was so desperate for any kind of male romantic attention that I googled "prison pen pals", and I'm considering writing to one. FML

It's a shame that all the good ones are locked up.

A "pen pal" who is in the penitentiary. Not a good choice OP.

You do realize they go through your messages before handing them to the prisoners? Bad choice OP.

You do realise the manpower required to go through every single piece of mail going in or out of a gaol outweighs the manpower any gaol in any country actually has? And yes, I have spelt gaol right because I'm Australian.

My grandfather is in prison and they screen all of his letters. True, he is on death row so alittle more security than a regular inmate, but still.

Yes she's right. I know in California all 33 prisons have their mail screened. Lots of fragranced letters and nude photos. The first one to open and read a letter isn't the inmate

... I have a pen pal in prison and it's really not a big deal! Having said that, I've never wanted anything romantic from him...

He's in prison for life so 1. It's unlikely he would want anything like that and 2. He has no way of getting it! But I get what you mean.. But I think he feels more paternal than anything else towards me - I'm a fair amount younger than he is.

Haha well I don't think it is! :) the only real difference between our relationship and with my friends is that I can't see him.

If you are going to write to one, I'd seriously consider renting a PO box first!

I think he would appreciate your friendship as much as you appreciate it, give it a try. (:

As long as you don't write to lois's brother "the fat guy strangler" you'll be fine.

Match.com sounds safer. Even Craigslist, only one in a few thousand may be a real cereal killer, your odds are better this way op.

Man I'm a cereal killer. I love to kill that special k with red berries every morning. :-/

I had a prison pen pal... Not for romantic reasons tho

I can just imagine your first letter back... "Dear OP, It is a pleasure to get to know you. One questions, have they invented a non-slippery soap yet? If so, please send me 2 boxes"
