I'm not sure of your name, but I'm glad to hear from someone who grew up here in Cedar Rapids - it's a great place. Thanks for all the good work you do.

At 9:26am on March 29, 2009, Susan Thames said…: Hi, Melinda. I had a note from you ages back and didn't see it. I'd like to have a prison pen pal. Please let me know how to proceed.

Also, I wonder if anyone at the PDN has information on the women's prison in bedford, NY. I've been thinking about starting a sitting group there and would be grateful for any guidance you might have.

Thanks.

In gassho,
Susan

Id like to support a prisoner via email. I contacted two you suggested but didn't hear back from either. Could you please assist me to connect with a prisoner. Thanks Nigel

At 8:40am on February 21, 2009, Iris said…: Hi Melinda, thanks for the friend request. I amnew to the penpal thing and would appreciate some advice. I am awaiting a reply from the first letter I sent. How long should it take?

At 8:16pm on February 3, 2009, Destin Joy said…: Hi Melinda, and thanks for contacting me. I would love to be set up with a pen pal before I surrender on March 2. My email is destinjoy (@) gmail.com

I'll try returning your call when I have the time as well

At 12:09pm on January 9, 2009, Mary Tokumaru said…: Hi, Melinda:

I am interested in becoming a pen pal, but like the person below (Kathleen), I do not belong to any organized Buddhist group. I am hoping to speak with other pen pals before making my commitment. Any help you can offer will be appreciated

At 11:33am on October 20, 2008, Kathleen Duffell said…: Thank you Melinda. I first got interested in the network after reading a piece by Fleet Maull. I am hesitant to volunteer as a Pen Pal because I really admire Buddhism but I do not know or participate in any Buddhist ritual. I think the work is absolutely fantastic which is why I have contributed for years. I don't know what I have to offer as a volunteer or penpal beyond love, respect, and an open ear.
Cheers,
Kathleen

At 4:07pm on October 17, 2008, Cole Thimsen said…: Hi Melinda,

Thanks for the links...

I have already gotten set up on the pen pal program and am waiting to hear back from the inmate I wrote to. I actually had a question regarding the pen pal program. Once I have received correspondence from an inmate am I supposed to contact someone at PDN so they can take his name off the list so that other inmates have a better chance to find a pen pal?

Please let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks again,

Cole
