Wow, I got two letters today out of the three I wrote. Before today I honestly didn't think a whole lot about it. I was kinda wondering why people got so excited. Well, let me tell you...This is awesome. The letters are just normal letters from normal guys who happen to be in prison. I know it sounds weird but I swear it's true! Anyway, they wrote about 4 pages each and one has beautiful handwriting and one I can't read very well but I got through it LOL. I really can't explain what the emotion is that I am feeling.
One of them wrote something about being on IDOC.com and then to put his name but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know about this? Is it email maybe?
I am so glad that I decided to do this :yup:

Awesome glad your excited! Sorry I don't know anything about idoc.com
You had me smiling with your comments, do you realise what you said? Why would you think you would receive anything other than normal letters and why is it weird.....LOL.... I am glad you have discovered what many of us know, that many of these people are just the same as us, just different address is all. :) Happy writing!!
As for the question, i am wondering if your pen pal is in Idaho Department of Corrections IDOC, and he is saying if you look him up on the imate search you will find him?? but it is not .com.
Congratulations!
Is your penpal in Illinois? idoc.com may be that state's corrections website, with useful information for you.
He is in IL. I'll check out the state website then. :) thank you.
Yes, I feel kinda silly writing that smiley after I re-read it. Of course they are normal!
You shouldn't feel silly, your happiness is palpable, which is a good thing and you are not the only one left smiling . :nod:
Congratulations on your first letters :D
Yay great to hear you received your first letters :D Happy writing!
Oh that first letter feeling is really something...Congratulations!
How long did it take you to get it?
I got them both on March 19th
One was postmarked the 15th and one the 17th so about 2 and 4 days.
My emails were mailed on March 4th so it took mine awhile to get there.
