Death Row Support Project

Become a Pen Pal

Here's how it works:

1. You decide you would like to write someone on death row, and are willing to write at least once each month for one year.
2. You sign up using the on-line form, or send us your name, address, age, and religious affiliation (if any).
3. We send you a letter from someone on death row who has requested a pen pal, along with some guidelines for writing.
4. You write and mail a letter to the person on death row and anticipate receiving a letter from your new friend.
5. When your correspondence is established, contact DRSP to let us know how it is going.
6. If you have questions or concerns that are not addressed in the frequently asked questions page, please contact us.

It presently takes one month to match volunteers to prisoners.
