Going Green
At WriteAPrisoner.com we endeavor to lead
by example. Yes, our primary goal is to reduce recidivism by
encouraging positive relationships between inmates and free world
citizens, and we attempt to do this in an environmentally
responsible way. We recycle all paper products and reuse ink
cartridges. We have redesigned our email forwarding system to use as
little paper as possible, and all printing is done in “draft” format
to reduce the amount of ink used. Although the volume of mail has
increased, our use of paper and ink has decreased, thus creating a
smaller carbon footprint. We will continue to seek out and utilize
new technologies that are environmentally responsible.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to reduce recidivism by
encouraging
positive relationships between inmates and free citizens. To this end we
encourage those on the outside to write letters of encouragement to
inmates, to support educational programs within the prison system, to be
active in sharing information about jobs and housing, and to participate
in an ongoing, proactive dialogue about prison-related issues.
Goals of Our Service:
- To reduce the likelihood of inmates
re-offending upon release
- To generate mail for every inmate on our
website
- To work collaboratively with Departments of
Correction in the United
States and around the world towards fostering good mental health in
inmates by encouraging positive relationships with pen pals
- To encourage educational aspirations for
inmates through our Books
Behind Bars program
- To provide a network of resources and support
for family and friends
of inmates through our forum and resource directory
- To provide support for children impacted by
crime by providing
scholarships to children of inmates and children who are victims of
crime
- To reduce the prison population by reducing
recidivism
- To be proactive in recognizing and addressing
the needs of inmates
and their friends and families that will lead to them living productive,
crime-free lives upon release
- To create and sustain an ongoing
international dialogue toward
reducing crime, reducing recidivism, and protecting the rights of all
Your letters of friendship and
encouragement can
inspire an inmate to improve himself, to seek an education, to find
employment upon release. Your letters might prevent a suicide or other
desperate act born of loneliness. Your letters have the power to impact a
human life that has otherwise been disposed of in that vast wasteland known
as the prison system. Our hope is that people will connect with each other
toward one common goal: to reduce the prison population in our country by
reducing the number of inmates who return to prison after they have been
released. We believe that the positive influence of regular correspondence
with new friends will lessen the loneliness, inspire hope, and ultimately
reduce recidivism for these men and women. We are committed to remembering
the forgotten in the hope that they will one day return to us as productive
members of a caring society.
