This is the first self-help guide in WriteAPrisoner.com's new Self-Help Series. This guide specifically addresses securing employment before or after release. This document was created based in large part on our own expertise and input directly from the inmates and potential employers: http://www.writeaprisoner.com/self-help-back-to-work.pdf.

Letter Writing Campaign

Is protecting our First Amendment worth 5 minutes of your time?

Certain states have made a conscious decision to violate the First Amendment rights of inmates and free world citizens. Any inmate caught with a profile on WriteAPrisoner.com or any website will be punished. These states have been punishing inmates for profiles placed by you, the public for helping your loved ones on the inside. Anyone, such as friends and family, can post anything on the Internet at anytime. These rules are in violation of both the inmates' rights and yours. These states have failed to do the right thing. We now must tell our elected officials that this is unconstitutional and detrimental. The benefits of inmates having positive outside influences have been proven time and time again. Some states that have banned pen-pals like to cite inmate fraud as the reason. Little evidence is ever offered to confirm this. Even if it's true, why punish tens of thousands for the actions of a few? Laws already exist to hold inmates accountable for mail fraud.

Below are links to letters we need you to print, sign, and send. We need you to send these letters to their respective governors regardless of where you live. Other states are not doing this to their inmates, and these governors need to know that caring and involved people are watching. They need to know that we are not willing to sit at home doing nothing while “certain unalienable Rights” are arbitrarily taken from us.

Don’t “do nothing!” Join us in this fight for our rights. Please act today!

Step 1:  PRINT the letters
Click here to print the Florida Letter
Click here to print the Missouri Letter

Step 2:  SIGN the letters

Step 3:  MAIL each letter to its respective recipient

Step 4: FOWARD this page to all of your friends and family telling them that you acted and they should act, too.


Missouri Status
We have not heard from the Governor's Office. This campaign is active. Please write today. We will keep you posted.

Florida Status
We have not heard from the Governor's Office. This campaign is active. Please write today. We will keep you posted.

Please send this link to everyone you know! Post it in every forum you use! There are more than two million inmates in this country. There are a lot of families and friends being impacted by this rule.

We will not end this campaign until the Department of Corrections ends this unconstitutional practice. We will keep you posted of this campaign's progress on this page. Thank you for having the courage to speak out.
