The Florida and Missouri Departments of Corrections have made a conscious decision to violate the First Amendment rights of inmates and free world citizens. Any inmate caught with an ad on WriteAPrisoner.com or any website will be punished. These states have been punishing inmates for ads placed by you, the public. Anyone, such as friends and family, can post anything on the Internet at anytime. This rule is a violation of both the inmates' rights and yours. These Departments of Corrections have failed to do the right thing. We now must tell our elected officials that this is unconstitutional and illegal. We need you to speak on behalf of those who have lost their voice!

Below are links to two letters we need you to print, sign, and send. We need you to send both letters to their respective governors regardless of where you live. Other states are not doing this to their inmates, and these governors need to know that caring and involved people are watching. They need to know that we are not willing to sit at home doing nothing while “certain unalienable Rights” are arbitrarily taken from us.

Remember the words of statesman Edmund Burke: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Don’t “do nothing!” Join us in this fight for our rights. Please act today!

Please send this link to everyone you know! Post it in every forum you use! There are more than two million inmates in this country. There are a lot of families and friends being impacted by this rule. 

We will not end this campaign until the Department of Corrections ends this unconstitutional practice. We will keep you posted of this campaign's progress on this page. Thank you for having the courage to speak out.
