Hi everyone, I'm Mel and am living in North Yorkshire in the UK.
I'm 37 years old, live with my partner and have no children....well no two legged children anyway!! My baby is my Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Kelly and my OH has a border collie called Arwen. We've also got 4 cats so it's a bit of a full house!!
We're also VW Golf Mk2 fans and have one each.
I'm recently found this site and am just about to write my first letters to two inmates. I wanted to write to inmates when I was younger, and I mean under 18 so obviously i wasn't allowed and I wasn't ready. Am against the death penalty, always have been, ever since I was young and understood what it was.
Look forward to getting to know you all.
Melxx

Welcome to WAP :)
Hi Gilka, welcome!!
I hope you will get nice experiences writing to prisoners!|If you come here more often you will get to know all of us better too, it's a nice forum.
What is an OH by the way?
Other Half. aka. Significant Other
Welcome! I'm from the UK too :)
Thank you for the lovely welcome guys....
Well I've sent two letters via the email system here. One to Ohio and one to North Carolina. Hope I get at least one reply!!

That's great! Since you sent it today WAP will send it out on the 20th of June. (they send it out on the 20th and the 4th of every month). I'm only saying this so you don't start to worry when you haven't heard anything back right away! Even if it got sent out today.... You have to factor in: postal time, mailroom going in, responding to it, mailroom going out, postal time to you. And some mailrooms aren't exactly the quickest either. I'm not trying to freak you out or bum you out or anything... I'm just trying to let you know I guess. This is all a very big waiting game. Your patience shall get tested. lol
I hope you hear back soon from them!
No, I can imagine it will take a while....I saw that they send the letters twice a month. I did think about posting the letter but I figured it would be better for the first contact to be via WAP.
I've just been reading the websites for each State's Dept of Correction, interesting.......
Thanks Queenbella, much appreciated..

You're welcome :)
Welcome, Gilka! And you had me at "my baby is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier" LOL!
You've lost me there shostakovich.....lol
But my staffie Kelly is my baby, I idolise her and adore her and she can't do anything wrong in my eyes (even when she is a naughty monkey!!)
Here we are, me and my baby....
