Hey I'm trying to find a pen pal in Illinois only since I connect more with people from my hometown. Although I don't live in Illinois anymore I would love to get to know some handsome men there. I look forward to speaking with someone soon!!!!

Click https://writeaprisoner.com/inmate-search-advanced , take IL into the state field and male for the gender and then you'll get of lot of profiles you can go through and pick one. I'd recommend to not pick more than one per state or at the very least, not more than one per facility. Cause ppl can get jealous and/or possessive over penpals - and would yoou like to be the reason for a fight if one guys gets transferred and runs into another at the new facility whom you happen to penpal with, too?

But there's another thing you might do: Try taking one in a Federal prison in IL and one in a state prison. Or take one in a state prison and one in one of the two re-entry centers IL has for male prisoners. That might work to.  Reentry centers are cool to write in anyway, I had a pp in there before he got paroled last summer and the mailroom was the fastest and best organized I've ever seen as a penpal.

Though, you have to keep in mind when you're writing to someone in a reentry center, he'll naturally be a short termer. Some ppl don't like writing to /with shorttermers, but for me the one in that reentry center was the very first prisoner who replied to me and we had an absolutely cool, respectful, friendly, calm and serene kind of communication for 18 months. (We're actually still in contact, but now that he's out and doing well it's more loosely and sporadic).

Hope you'll find one or some nice IL guys to write with, they exist for sure.

Good luck and happy writing!
