Charles comes from a military family — the second oldest of seven, with three brothers and three sisters. He loves Star Wars and science fiction movies and shows, music from the 80s and 90s (and plenty from the 50s through the 2000s), cooking and baking, video games, and anime. He works in food service in the kitchen.

Scott loves building, working on, and restoring classic cars, and music from the 50s to the 80s. He is planning his career for when he gets out and dreams of restoring a classic car and taking a road trip.

#86031-509 FCI Danbury 33 1/2 Pembroke Road Danbury, CT 06811A Catholic "backwoods boy" from Maine. Travis plays softball, bass guitar, and piano, and enjoys crocheting, painting, and cross stitching. He works in the kitchen and is studying through a career institute program to become a certified legal assistant / paralegal. He reads fantasy fiction — especially David Dalglish — and is a big Harry Potter fan. His birthday is July 14th. He is hoping to find pen pals and brothers in Christ.

Joseph is an Orthodox Christian who spends his time reading, gardening, and drawing — and he is happiest with his hands in an engine. A devoted Detroit Red Wings fan and a big Michigan football fan, he will gladly talk Ford trucks and John Deere tractors with anyone who writes. His birthday is May 4th.
#735421 Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility 1727 W Bluewater Hwy Ionia, MI 48846Lebanese, and a convert to Catholicism — he now goes by Michael, thanks be to God. Please address the envelope to Mohamed, as that is still his legal name.
#792080 Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility 1727 W Bluewater Hwy Ionia, MI 48846By writing to these prisoners, we are in no way justifying what they did or what they're in prison for, but extending the mercy of Christ to them — because NO ONE is beyond the grace of Our God.
Mercy is love when it's least deserved.
No experience needed. A short, sincere note means more than a perfect one.
Introduce yourself by first name, say why you're writing, and share something ordinary about your day. Avoid asking about their case unless they bring it up.
Copy the name, ID number, and facility address precisely — the ID number is required, or mail won't be delivered. Include a return address (a P.O. box is fine).
Most facilities accept plain letters and photos, but ban stickers, glitter, cash, and anything laminated. When unsure, keep it to paper and pen. See our FAQ for details.
Replies can take weeks and mail is screened. Consistency is the gift — even a note every few weeks tells someone they're not forgotten.
