Thinking about writing to a prison pen pal? Before you choose an inmate, you might want to think about what state they’re incarcerated in. In this quick-hit episode, Big Steve breaks down which states and messaging services can make communicating with an inmate easy—and which ones can turn it into a frustrating nightmare. He covers Corrlinks, JPay, Securus, Getting Out, Smart Inmate, and Corrlinks Text Chat, along with the best and worst states for traditional snail mail. He also explains why federal inmates can be an especially good choice for free messaging and highlights some of his favorite states for staying in touch. Then, Big Steve talks about the upcoming Not Another Year rally in Lincoln, Nebraska, organized to stand against prolonged solitary confinement in Nebraska prisons. He shares a powerful message from Jae Ely of More Than an Inmate’s Girlfriend and explains why he hopes to attend the October 17 event and make his first public appearance with the Prison Pen Pal Podcast and https://penpals.buzz
