Some Prisoners For Your Christmas Card List!


Many in our prisons will get no cards at all this Christmas.
"Remember those in prison as if you were also in bonds, and those who suffer as though you were suffering with them."  
Hebrews 13:3

Every year I encourage individuals and groups to send holiday cards to people behind bars. If you know someone who would welcome good tidings of this kind, make sure to include them in your list of people you reach out to. If you need some names, here are some who would appreciate an encouraging word from the outside, especially in this time of COVID, which has added additional stress to those incarcerated.

Unfortunately, I only have addresses here for men. There are two state prisons for women in Virginia, and the number of women behind bars is growing.

Each card can include an article, a copy of an inspirational piece, or your family's annual newsletter. Regrettably, the Department of Corrections now makes photocopies of the envelope and its contents to be given to the prisoner, to avoid having some illegal substance find its way inside!

Your card and whatever else you send may weigh no more than one ounce, and include no more than a total of three items. Do not include cash, checks, postage stamps or prepaid envelopes.

NOTE: If for whatever reason you prefer not to include your return address with your letter, and don't have a post office box, you can have the person respond to me and I'll relay their message to you (assuming I have your contact information). In my many years of corresponding with incarcerated individuals I have never had any problems resulting from disclosing my address, but some people do recommend against it.

  1. I see you are still advocating for the release of rapists who are classified, by the parole board, as a danger to society. My relative John Nissley is one of those men. You were confronted about this in private years ago, and yet you persist. Why do you persist in trying to get a man with four life sentences for child rape released?

    Please do not undermine Godly justice.
