I Have Been Passed Around in Prison

[Nyboy]

About a month ago I had some friends over for cocktails. Half way into the night a friend suggested a game. We went to a website for people in prison looking for pen pals, we each picked a prisoner and wrote to them. My mother didn't raise any fools, I picked some one doing life, was taking no chances of them one day showing up at my door. Time went by and I forgot all about it till today. I got 2 letters from to different prisoners neither one was who I wrote to originally. The person I wrote to had enough pen pals and passed my infor around to other inmates. I didn't see that coming !! Not sure what to do now. They are both in a prison in Gatesville texas, need to look up there release dates and crimes.

No telling what they will do when the stop by to find you not the 22 year old blond bombshell they were expecting, huh? I hope you gave the grooming address and not a home one.

I was honest about who was writing, and yes work address only

Maybe if you do not write them back again they will drop it!

@Nyboy, be careful! As soft-hearted as you are, you might get asked for money or a cell phone, or no telling what.
Years ago I read an article about women in prison. A particular woman was featured. I was so moved by the conditions women face in prison, I wrote her, and she wrote back. We didn't continue the correspondence though.
I have often thought I would get something out of becoming acquainted through the mail, with a person in prison, but, like you found, there may not be boundaries. And I don't need someone in stripes knocking on my door saying "Surprise! Early Release!"

Vodka = trouble LOL I am NOT writing back, so much for party games

Aha! Vodka! That explains a lot, haha!

Remember that Seinfeld segment where George gets a pen pal from a woman's prison? Jail break and George had an orange jumpsuit at his door.

I guess I didn't see that one. But reruns are being shown, so it is probably still out there.
