    Default International penpals

    Anyone notice that the listing for the 2 Aussie p/p was deleted? Did their ads expire? Did anyone end up writing them?

    Curious bunny here.

    Hey! Thanks for answering though! Just wondering why both ads were deleted. Maybe the time had expired?

    I did write and am still in contact with one. I believe his ad expired. He has a few pen pals from all over the world. Really neat fellow. Funny and nice. Just an FYI

    Thanks, Raven! I just wondered why the whole category disappeared. Thanks for shedding some light on the subject.

    *dreamer waves at Bunny*
    Bunny here in Aust, we dont encourage or even let prisoners know about internet PP possiblities. I asked at my prison and not one person knew what the hell i was talking about!! When I asked a senior officer about the possiblity of introducing the concept he was very negative and said that it will not happen. I hope he is wrong and am gently, slowly getting my view across about all the good that comes out of PP relationships. So the gist of what I am saying is that Aust prisoners on the whole are not aware of the service and those few that were listed were probably made aware by family, friends etc & got their adds in on the quiet I would say. heres hoping things change in the future
    cheers

    ps) I should add Im talking about Victorian prisons & Hi ya raven, long time, hope you are well

    *waving at Dreamer*

    Thanks for the answer, Dreamer! Wow! Oz believes in prisons as punishment then? LOL I figured it was due to the high cost of postage from our end to theirs and few responses. I always looked but never got around to writing, then "POOF" the category was gone. Oh well!
