 Mell Mell Post Count: 14692 Msg: #1 105 weeks ago, December 14th 2007 | I just got the most amazing surprise. | A prisoner I used to write to and visit there has been released. He was on a life sentence. I was going to send a Christmas message to his family through the Foreign Prisoners Support Services so googled his name and got a long list of news blogs about his release. I sent him a message instead and now I get emails from him. Here is one of the news blogs about his release. http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=481169&in_page_id=1770 If u are interested in writing to or visiting a prisoner and need information about it let me know.

But here is a list on the internet of the ones in the prison I went to who would like letters and visits. http://www.usp.com.au/fpss/pris-bangkwang.html There is more than one prison in Bangkok so u can look on this link at all of them if u want. http://www.usp.com.au/fpss/prisoners.html If u are going to write to one keep copies of your letters. A lot of letters get lost. Around three out of every 4 in fact. Mel Mell Mell Post Count: 14692 Msg: #4 99 weeks ago, January 23rd 2008 | I got a new penpal because I miss writing letters since the last one now has email. | There is something nicely nostalgic about putting a letter in the snail mail and waiting for a reply. I chose one who is in prison in Laos because Laos is on my list of places to go. I will visit him when I finally get there if the prison staff let me in. http://www.usp.com.au/fpss/case-john_watson.html Mell Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
