Some Names To Add To Your Holiday Card List

John Bennie Williams, 89 and
legally blind, is at near zero risk
for reoffending, but has been
repeatedly denied both geriatric
  and regular parole. 
"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               

This year I'm again encouraging individuals and groups to send cards to people behind bars. Below are the names of some folks with whom I have had some correspondence, and who I know would appreciate some good tidings from the outside.

I only have current addresses for men. There are also two state prisons for women in Virginia, and the number of women behind bars in the commonwealth is growing. Kingsway Outreach Ministry could provide some addresses of incarcerated women if you'd like. 

When you send your card(s) you can include things like an interesting 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, but getting any kind of mail is always appreciated. Unless you are sending cards to everyone(!) please select names at random rather than simply choosing from the top of the list. 

Thank you!

Note: What 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 you prefer not to include your physical address with your letter, and don't have a post office box, you can have the person respond to you c/o P.O. Box 434, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 and I'll relay their message to you (assuming you give me 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 do recommend against it.
