Send A Christmas Card To A Virginia Prisoner!

"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

Jesus himself is among these forgotten men and women.

This year I'm again encouraging individuals and groups to send holiday cards to people behind bars. Here are the names of some folks I know who would appreciate some good tidings from the outside.

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

When you send your card(s) you 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 even a particle of an illegal substance to 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.
