      <title>The Inpact of Inflation on Incarcerated Individuals</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">A Call to Support Prison Pen Pal Connections</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/10/2023 --  In an era marked by economic challenges and rising costs, our commitment to fostering meaningful connections between incarcerated individuals and pen pals remains resolute. The team at Penacon.com, a leading prison pen pal platform, recognizes the distressing impact that inflation can have on prisoners across the nation. Today, Penacon calls upon the public to stand with them as they address this pressing issue.<br />
<br />
Inflation, a growing concern affecting various facets of society, is particularly detrimental to the incarcerated population. As prices surge and basic necessities become increasingly unaffordable, prisoners often find themselves grappling with limited resources, diminished access to essential items, and restricted communication options. The already difficult experience of incarceration is further compounded by the challenges posed by economic instability.<br />
<br />
Penacon is committed to providing a lifeline to those within the prison system, facilitating connections that offer emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. In the face of inflation&apos;s harsh realities, Penacon&apos;s dedication to serving as a bridge between pen pals and prisoners takes on even greater importance.<br />
<br />
Through consistent correspondence, pen pals play a crucial role in helping inmates maintain a positive outlook and a connection to the outside world. They provide not only friendship but also a means of accessing news, insights, and perspectives that can prove invaluable in the rehabilitation process. Inflation should not obstruct these vital connections, which have the potential to inspire personal growth and transformation.<br />
<br />
In response to the challenges posed by inflation, Penacon is taking proactive steps to ensure that its services remain accessible and impactful by actively exploring partnerships and initiatives that can help alleviate the financial strain faced by incarcerated individuals, ensuring that the bonds forged through pen pal relationships remain strong and enduring.<br />
<br />
As a society, we must recognize that those who are incarcerated also deserve the opportunity to weather economic hardships with dignity and hope. By coming together and supporting initiatives that maintain channels of communication, we can contribute to a more compassionate and equitable prison system. We invite individuals, organizations, and institutions to join us in this endeavor and help alleviate the burdens that inflation places on prisoners. Reach out to a potential pen pal today to start providing support.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Diane Elenor Schindelwig<br />Partner<br />Penacon<br />Telephone: 1-774-406-8682<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1376742">Click to Email Diane Elenor Schindelwig</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.penacon.com">https://www.penacon.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1376742&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">To Promote Prisoner Pen Pals</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/10/2023 --  Penacon, the leading platform connecting incarcerated individuals with compassionate pen pals, has announced the launch of an exciting social media campaign to raise awareness about the power of prisoner pen pals.

      <title>Inmate Pen Pal Company Adds New Features Making Connecting with Prisoners Easier</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/08/2023 --  In an effort to help foster meaningful connections and support positive rehabilitation experiences for inmates around the world, Penacon, a leader in inmate pen pal services, has launched a new feature on their site. The new feature adds the ability to message any inmate directly through their site and is revolutionizing the way pen pals connect with incarcerated individuals. <br />
<br />
The new messaging feature serves as a vital communication tool, bridging the gap between inmates and their pen pals in an easy and secure way to make contact with an inmate. This messaging option takes the hassle out of sending a letter to an inmate pen pal. Once your message is submitted, Penacon will print your message on stationary and physically mail the letter by USPS for you! <br />
<br />
For prisoners, receiving mail serves as a lifeline that helps combat the loneliness and despair often experienced in correctional facilities. Each letter represents a tangible link to the outside world, offering an escape from the monotony of prison life and a reminder that they are not forgotten. Pen pals can provide emotional support, offer advice, share stories, and even contribute to an inmate&apos;s personal growth and rehabilitation journey.<br />
<br />
Sometimes that first connection with an inmate can be tough: Navigating prison mail room rules, and knowing what you can and can&apos;t do however, with Penacon&apos;s new message system it takes all the guesswork out of the equation. <br />
<br />
To connect with an inmate through Penacon all you have to do is browse their website, choose a pen pal and click to send them a message!

      <title>Pen Pals with Inmates</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">A Powerful Tool for Rehabilitation</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/03/2023 --  In an effort to promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism rates, Penacon.com is encouraging individuals to participate in their pen pal programs with inmates. Through these programs, individuals can correspond with inmates through handwritten letters, fostering a sense of connection and support that can lead to positive changes in behavior.<br />
<br />
According to research, maintaining regular contact with the outside world can significantly reduce the risk of recidivism. This is especially true for inmates who may lack a strong support system or sense of purpose. By engaging in meaningful correspondence with individuals outside of the prison system, inmates can feel more connected to the world outside, increasing their chances of successful reentry upon release.<br />
<br />
Pen pal programs also offer benefits to the individuals on the outside who choose to participate. For many, writing letters can be a therapeutic and rewarding experience, providing a sense of purpose and a meaningful way to give back to their community. By helping to support inmates in their rehabilitation efforts, pen pal participants can play an important role in promoting positive change within the criminal justice system.<br />
<br />
In addition, participating in a pen pal program can be a valuable learning experience. Through their correspondence, individuals can gain a better understanding of the challenges and experiences faced by inmates, and gain insight into the criminal justice system as a whole. This can lead to increased empathy and awareness, as well as a desire to work towards positive change within the system.<br />
<br />
Penacon is dedicated to promoting the use of pen pal programs as a powerful tool for rehabilitation and reducing recidivism rates. By fostering connections and support between inmates and individuals on the outside, we can work towards a more just and compassionate criminal justice system.<br />

      <title>Prison Pen Pal Company Committed to Transforming the Lives of Prisoners</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/11/2023 --  Prison Pen Pal company, Penacon, is committed to spreading awareness of the positive effects of pen pals on the incarcerated community. <br />
<br />
Writing to someone who is incarcerated is an incredibly powerful and meaningful thing to do. It can have significant and long-lasting benefits, both for the prisoner and for the wider community. Research has shown that people who have pen pals experience improved well-being, greater self-esteem, and more positive attitudes toward rehabilitation and reintegration into society.  <br />
<br />
For prisoners, a pen pal can be a source of friendship, understanding and social support. It can help them feel connected to the outside world and give them an opportunity to express themselves in a safe and non-judgmental way. When they have someone to talk to, they can open up and share their thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged or rejected.<br />
<br />
Having a pen pal can also help prisoners improve their literacy, learn a foreign language, and gain valuable knowledge and skills, which can be applied in their everyday lives. Additionally, it can provide a meaningful outlet for those who may not have access to other forms of entertainment. Knowing that there is someone out there who cares about them and is willing to listen to their stories can be incredibly empowering and inspiring.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, pen pal writing provides prisoners with an opportunity to express vulnerability, hear news from outside prison, and be themselves. Studies have shown that this can have tangible benefits for prisoners and prisons, as it can help to reduce recidivism and lead to more positive attitudes towards rehabilitation and reintegration into society.<br />
<br />
Overall, being a pen pal with an inmate can have huge benefits. It can help to spread awareness, perspective, and social information, while also providing prisoners with a sense of connection and an opportunity to practice communication and language skills. Writing to someone who is incarcerated could very well change their life and help them on their path to rehabilitation, which could lead to less crime and a better future for everyone.<br />
<br />
Penacon continues to provide a safe and secure platform for prospective pen pals to connect with prisoners across the nation. If you&apos;re looking to make a difference visit www.penacon.com and find your prospective prison pen pal. <br />

      <title>Penacon's Prison Pen Pal System Is Set to Change the Course of Society</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Prisoners Who Maintain Relationships with Outside Friends More Likely to Succeed</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/13/2022 --  Prisoners who maintain healthy relationships with friends and family on the outside are more likely to succeed in life on the outside. It&apos;s no secret that prisons provide little to no support structure for inmates who are soon to be released. This is where www.Penacon.com (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://penacon.com/blog/pen-pals-make-huge-difference-in-criminal-justice-reform-2" href="https://penacon.com/blog/pen-pals-make-huge-difference-in-criminal-justice-reform-2">https://penacon.com/blog/pen-pals-make-huge-difference-in-criminal-justice-reform-2</a>) is set apart from other organizations.<br />
<br />
It is the common consensus that prison time makes monsters out of everyone they claim they are helping. One good example is that of the Alabama state prison system where an inmate is more likely to be murdered than to be rehabilitated. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by the isolation that is suffered when a human being is locked away like an animal. The suffering begins by requiring prisoners to eat food that is not fit for human consumption. They are then deprived of their voice and credibility to do anything about abusive conditions. The next most debilitating condition is depriving the prisoner of outside contact with humanity. In many cases, depriving a prisoner of communication with friends and family is used as a punishment for trivial infractions like not being quiet enough during the count.<br />
<br />
Incarceration has an undeniable negative impact on relationships with friends and family and prisoners need outside connections to thrive. Physical separation, denial of communication, and prison policies operate to weaken relationships and isolate prisoners over time.  A lack of a support network often results in increased behavioral issues during a given term of incarceration and increased recidivism rates after release.<br />
<br />
Penacon.com is committed to assisting prisoners with maintaining outside contact with friends and family. They are aware that changing the life course of an inmate starts on the first day of incarceration and is essential to the sound rehabilitation of any individual who is locked away. It is also important for friends and family to help prisoners with developing a support circle that the prisoner can rely on upon release.<br />
<br />
This is why Penacon.com has made it easier than ever for friends and family members of inmates to sign them up on their web-based pen pal system. Once an inmate is signed up and loaded on the pen pal system, they can start receiving letters from potential new friends almost immediately. An inmate who has many pen pals writing to them poses a reduced burden on the family members who support them.<br />
<br />
Well-informed family and friends of American prisoners know the value of signing their loved one up on a well-managed web-based pen pal system.<br />

      <title>Feeling Alone During the Holidays Can Lead to Depression</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Penacon.com Helps Families Fight Depression In Their Incarcerated Loved Ones.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/08/2022 --  For many people, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration.

      <title>Largest Prison Resource Book Makes Its Mark on Prisoner's Financial Future</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Inmate Shopper Provides Motivated Prisoners Financial Security.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/28/2022 --  The Inmate Shopper (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/inmate-shopper-annual-2020-21" href="https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/inmate-shopper-annual-2020-21">https://www.freebirdpublishers.com/product-page/inmate-shopper-annual-2020-21</a>) is the largest prisoner resource book on the market. It is an In-print publication that offers inmates a safer way to shop and access business information all in one place. Freebird Publishers have researched all the businesses listed in Inmate Shopper to keep them updated on every issue. Inmate Shopper informs its readers about established and newer companies and offers information on pen pal services, scams, opportunities, and places to sell their writing, arts, and crafts. <br />
<br />
The Inmate Shopper and Freebird Publishers have launched the careers of published authors like Kelly Patrick Riggs, Paul J. R. Dawson, Raymond E. Lumsden, and many others. The opportunities that these writers have taken advantage of setting them apart from other inmates, who failed to make ends meet while they were in prison. With the discovery, they made with the Inmate Shopper, they freed their friends and family from having to support them while they were in prison.<br />
<br />
Earning money is just as important for an inmate in prison as it is for someone in the free world. In addition to "three hots and a cot," the state and federal prisons provide an inmate with an absolute minimum number of supplies – a few items of clothing, a sheet and towel, and hygiene items. Other than that, an inmate must rely on their own income to get the items they need to survive.<br />
<br />
Prison jobs pay pennies an hour, so most inmates rely on family and friends on the outside to send them money. If an inmate doesn&apos;t have anyone to help, they must rely on their own smarts, talent, and strengths to hustle for their survival.<br />
<br />
The Inmate Shopper, among its many attributes, is a long listing of ways for a prisoner to turn their personal talents into a way to earn a living while in prison. Author Kelly Patrick Riggs, even after his release from prison, still focuses mainly on writing more books for Freebird Publishers. Still, now that he is essentially retired, he still looks back to the Inmate Shopper as the basic trigger to his most significant life&apos;s success.<br />

      <title>Penacon Helps America Celebrate the Season of Change</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Spring Is Upon the Nation and With It Comes New Beginnings.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/08/2022 --  The first day of Spring is March 20, 2022. With it comes warm weather, fresh flowers, and new beginnings. The most substantial change in life is new friends, new loves, and new beginnings. In these new changes, Penacon.com (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://www.penacon.com" href="https://www.penacon.com">https://www.penacon.com</a>) pledges its support to the lonely.<br />
<br />
As spring comes into season people seek changes that improve their lives. The most effective change is an increase in their social life. But if that increase is not found it leads to depression. Americans can expand their social circles by finding other people to interact with. This, however, is especially difficult for those unfortunate Americans confined in prisons around the country.<br />
<br />
For prisoners, Spring marks an increase in calls home. Some hope for more visitation from friends and loved ones and value receiving letters more than ever. But this is difficult in today&apos;s post-pandemic environment. The best solution under these troubling circumstances is prisoner pen pals. <br />
<br />
Research shared by the Federal Bureau of Prisons shows that prisoners who establish and maintain positive relationships, pursue educational opportunities, and who seek normalization through friendship are less likely to re-offend. Inmates from state prisons and federal prisons, on death row, and in rehabilitation centers across the country have posted profiles. Many of those profiles can be found on our website and they are more than willing to enrich the lives of others. This Spring loneliness is a choice.<br />
<br />
This year Penacon.com has expanded its social media coverage to include many new platforms. This means that a prisoner&apos;s profile will see many more contacts and get more exposure. Americans who struggle with a loved one in prison will gain greater peace of mind knowing that their incarcerated loved one is building a social circle that will promote their mental health and helps with their successful reentry into society. There is no greater gift to a prisoner that renewing or establishing their own profile on Penacon.com<br />

      <title>Global Company Moves to Ease the Tension in American Prison System</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Penacon Makes It Easier to Find a Pen Pal During Crisis.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/08/2022 --  Many American prisons are locked down during this year&apos;s Valentine&apos;s Day Season. These conditions end all visitation and communication for affected inmates, leaving only correspondence through the mail system. Amidst this crisis, Penacon (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://penacon.com/blog/many-people-find-companionship-to-be-the-gateway-to-inner-peace" href="https://penacon.com/blog/many-people-find-companionship-to-be-the-gateway-to-inner-peace">https://penacon.com/blog/many-people-find-companionship-to-be-the-gateway-to-inner-peace</a>) makes it easiest for families to establish a profile for their loved ones on their website.<br />
<br />
In an unprecedented move, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has locked down all of its 122 facilities across the United States as a result of a fight at the high-security prisons, USP Beaumont (Texas) where multiple men were injured and two killed.<br />
<br />
BOP employees received a notice stating:<br />
<br />
"Effective January 31, 2022, The Federal Bureau of Prisons was placed on a National Lock-down. The Lock-down was initiated out of an abundance of caution due to current events which occurred at another facility. This order is to ensure the safety and security of all staff and inmates."<br />
<br />
This incident involved members of the notorious MS-13 gang killing two prisoners belonging to the Surenos, loosely affiliated gangs that pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia. A third prisoner is in critical condition at the hospital. Fearing further violence throughout the prison system, the BOP understandably had to take some action.<br />
<br />
Likewise, Penacon took action as well. It&apos;s a well know fact that pen pals raise the morale of American prisoners. But, during a lockdown, they have no way to post a profile on their own. Therefore, Penacon staff members have pledged to go the extra mile to help the families of prisoners establish a profile for their loved ones. Penacon pledges fast and correct service when posting a profile on their website. During this crisis loved ones of prisoners can set up a profile for a prisoner on their own. They can write a bio, post pictures, and connect to Facebook with the ease of their automated system.<br />
<br />
It&apos;s time for America to make a difference in the life and rehabilitation of American prisoners and Penacon is here to help.<br />

      <title>National Company Helps Americans Cope with the Change of the Seasons</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Pen Pals help With the End of Summer Blues</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/14/2021 --  As summer ends and fall begins, it&apos;s easy to slip into a minor depression. This effect has to do with change and anxiety and can come about when the days start getting shorter. This is the time to put the bathing suits away and start gearing up for back to school, and your body knows the difference. Likewise, everyone recognizes the end of the outdoor activities with friends and family and the meeting of new people. There is hope, even in the fall and winter people can search for and meet new friends on Penacon (www.penacon.com)<br />
<br />
After a hot and humid summer, many of us welcome the crisp fall days with open arms. However, for some people, the shorter days and the switch to colder temperatures can also bring along depression and disengagement from friends, family, and life. That of course is not necessary, at Penacon meeting new people, in the winter months, is brought to your fingertips.<br />
<br />
At www.penacon.com they bring the gems of our society to the lonely who need a friend. It is one of the few sites where the database can be searched, and messages sent out for free. This makes finding a friend especially easy.<br />
<br />
Those who choose to become pen pals now have safer ways to correspond with prisoners than ever before. Today&apos;s technology, on sites such as Penacon.com, Writeapriaonser.com and Friendsbeyondthewalls.com, has brought email to the fingertips of most prisoners which offers a more secure way to correspond with the incarcerated community.<br />
<br />
Now, more than ever, web-based pen pal sites have features that allow communication with prisoners without sharing a physical address. And, with more prisons using email services like JPay and Corrlinks (inmate emailing) it&apos;s easier than ever to begin a pen pal relationship and getting to know these men and women before sharing a physical address (if ever). The email feature provides such a high level of security that most pen pals are not bothered by the crimes the prisoner may have been accused of.<br />

      <title>Pen Pal Company Connects Faith Based Organizations with the Prisoners Who Need Them</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Reaching Behind the Bars to Touch the Hearts and Souls of Those in Need.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/29/2021 --  Nationwide pen pal company takes the next step, to help incarcerated people with a hand up in life. It is common knowledge that everyone possesses their own unique talents and skills. Even companies have specialties, and those specialties can be used for the greater good. At www.Penacon.com their specialty is connecting prisoners with people on the outside, safely. Now, they use their specialty to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="help faith-based organizations and individuals connect with prisoners at no cost to those willing to mentor a prisoner" href="https://penacon.com/blog/change-america-by-being-a-mentor">help faith-based organizations and individuals connect with prisoners at no cost to those willing to mentor a prisoner</a>.<br />
<br />
Because the prison system can be a painful and damaging process for inmates and their families, these individuals are often in great need of being treated with dignity and compassion, as most faiths call people to give. Prison Ministries works with inter-religious groups and government officials to assist inmates and their families, as well as those on parole, supports summer camp programs for children of people who are incarcerated and calls for reform not only of the prison system but of the criminal justice system. Leaving only open communication with the prisoners as the most difficult part.<br />
<br />
Now, thanks to the initiatives of www.Penacon.com, those who wish to meet a prisoner can without fear. In the current day and age, neither our prisoners nor the prison ministries in our communities must suffer from a lack of communication. In recent years technology has become so advanced that caring people in our communities can reach inside of a prison, via email, and touch people just like those they wish to serve. What often goes unnoticed is that when two friendly people meet, they are no longer alone. <br />
<br />
Due to the growing awareness of much needed prison reform, people from all walks of life are called to interact with prisoners. As of December 21, 2018, a new law called the First Step Act has made provisions for faith-based groups and other Americans to get personally involved. Those who want to be a part of this movement can take advantage of web-based pen pal services that have features that allow communication with prisoners that do not require the sharing of a physical address. And with more and more prisoners using email services like JPay and Corrlinks (inmate email systems) it is easier than ever to begin a pen pal friendship and get to know a lonely American prisoner before sharing a physical address (if ever). The email feature, on many sites, provides such a high level of security that most current pen pals are not even concerned about the crimes the prisoners may have been accused of.<br />

      <title>Pen Pals Make Huge Difference in Criminal Justice Reform</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Loneliness is Becoming A Contributing Factor Among Recidivists.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/27/2021 --  Web based pen pal company identifies regular correspondence as a positive step in fighting crime and recidivism. As with many people, prisoners gravitate to places where they feel wanted and accepted. While incarcerated, prisoners seek that connection to the outside through letters and phone calls with even the newest of friends. Most prisoners are known to stand in a mail call line, even when they are expecting nothing to arrive. A well-known Pen Pal service (www.penacon.com) gives everyone the power to fight crime and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="recidivism with messages and letters of encouragement" href="https://penacon.com/blog/dare-to-change-america-getting-involved">recidivism with messages and letters of encouragement</a>.<br />
<br />
As inmates live out their sentence, their time should be spent rehabilitating their behavior and giving them a new perspective on their actions. When you know better, you do better, right? Well what if the friends and situations of a person&apos;s past, which led to mistakes, does not change. They are bound to repeat their indiscretions.<br />
<br />
Studies show recidivism occurring at high rates within the United States.<br />
<br />
A recent study by the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that 49% of released prisoners in 2005, re-offended within an average of 2 years following their release. The number is staggering, but where do we go from here? We change how we think about prisons and sentencing.<br />
<br />
Penacon.com believes that the secret to fighting crime is change, change in the minds of prisoners who will one day be released to their communities. Who will one day have to choose between right and wrong, who will have to make that ultimate choice to be what is expected of them by those that they love? They also believe that this secret can be fulfilled by anyone who is willing to send a text or email of encouragement to those who need it most.<br />
<br />
Over the past couple of years Penacon.com has perfected a safe and secure web-based business that allows anyone to correspond with a, or many, prisoners without ever revealing their personal information. This means that a pen pal does not have to provide an address like before and can safely withdraw at any time.<br />
<br />
At Penacon.com, they connect people inside prison with mentors, friends and loved ones on the outside. Unlikely friendships unfold when two people with completely different backgrounds exchange letters together. As they encourage each other, they develop a friendship rooted in trust which quickly begins to transform their hearts.<br />

      <title>Many People Find Companionship to Be the Gateway to Inner Peace</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">People Are Social Creatures that Require Frequent Interaction to be Happy.</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/29/2021 --  It has been proven time and again, that people who enjoy companionship are happier than those who do not. Likewise, people who cannot find companionship often fall into depression. The desire for personal interaction, today, is so prevalent in our society that literally billions of dollars are spent to find it. And thousands of businesses, organizations, and churches are established to fulfill the need. One unique company stands out as they serve a truly oppressed clientele. Penacon (<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="www.Penacon.com" href="https://www.penacon.com">www.Penacon.com</a>) reaches out to prisoners and their families as they struggle to stay together. Penacon encourages all loved ones of prisoners to establish prisoner profiles for the prisoners that they love.<br />
<br />
In is unfortunate, however, that millions of people live out their daily lives in a state of perpetual loneliness, even though they have the freedom and resources at their fingertips to overcome it. It is indeed disturbing that lonely people neglect to, or no longer know how to, seek personal interaction. Even more disturbing is that many lonely Americans are deprived of the freedom to seek relief.<br />
<br />
People who have remained lonesome, for years on end, often lose touch with the wherewithal to overcome their pain. Those unfortunate people also sometimes forget what it was like to be happy and no longer understand what they have lost. Similar are those people who have lost their freedom to seek companionship. They, in many cases, not only forget the joy of interacting with caring people, but they also lose the desire for the freedom to seek it.<br />
<br />
Many American prisoners today suffer a fear of the freedom that they no longer understand. They have spent so many years in a state of confinement that they dread their ensuing date of release. Ironically, thousands of prisoners covet the dream of being released so much that they feel that release itself robs them of their years long dream. For many prisoners, the approach of the upcoming release date has caused extreme anxiety-which has also resulted in physical illness in several cases.<br />
<br />
Recent observations, by incarcerated Americans, have revealed a dividing line between prisoners who freely embrace their release and those who fear it. That line is struck as a sharp division between prisoners who enjoy personal interaction with people on the outside and those who do not. Prisoners who will suffer anxiety, when their date approaches, are easy to identify. They are the ones who are infrequently called to a visit, the ones who infrequently stand in line to use the phone, or who never receive a personal letter.<br />
<br />
The loss of even the negative personal interaction, suffered in the worst of prisons, is a contributing factor to the separation anxiety that departing prisoners feel upon release. Once prisoners are released from confinement, they are prohibited by law to maintain contact with old friends from prison, no matter whether they, too, are released of still confined. Therefore, prisoners who were unable to make friends with people on the outside, are released to total loneliness. As such, prisoners confined by law are no different, than those people who are imprisoned by the walls of their own lonely homes.<br />
<br />
In the current day and age neither our prisoners nor the lonely in our communities must suffer. In recent years technology has become so advanced that lonely people in our communities can each inside of a prison, via email, and touch people just like themselves. What often goes unnoticed is that when two lonely people meet, they are no longer alone. Through frequent communications two lonely people often discover that their cloud of despair relents to rays of hope that can warm the coldest of hearts.<br />
<br />
Due to the growing awareness, of much needed prison reform, people from all walks of life are called to interact with prisoner. As of December 21, 2018, a new law called the First Step Act has made provisions for faith-based groups and other Americans to get personally involved. Those who want to be a part of this movement can take advantage of web-based pen pal services, that have features that allow communication with prisoners that do not require the sharing of a physical address. And with more and more prisoners using email services like JPay and Corrlinks (inmate email systems) it is easier than ever to begin a pen pal friendship and get to know a lonely American prisoner before sharing a physical address (if ever). The email feature, on many sites, provides such a high level of security that most current pen pals are not even concerned about the crimes the prisoners may have been accused of.<br />

      <title>Incarcerated People Fight Depression with Romance and Friendship</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Web Based Pen Pal Company Brings Joy to People Worldwide</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/16/2021 --  Warm weather is right around the corner and with it comes the emotions that drive love, romance and friendship. This is the time of year when people gather. Many of whom meet the love of their life, their soulmate or just a best friend. We as people are driven to join together in the springtime more than any other season of the year. When we find ourselves unable to mingle, however, we as social creatures feel an equally opposite and destructive emotion. No one suffers this despair more than prisoners and their loved ones. This season hope for the incarcerated and their families is restored by Penacon <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="(www.Penacon.com" href="https://www.penacon.com/">(www.Penacon.com</a>).<br />
<br />
Spring, hope, friendship and even romance conspire together to bring joy. These elements are intertwined in the mind, body, and soul. In spring, nature works with biology and psychology to spark the basic needs that underlie hope and joy. It is true that hope does not melt away in the summer; it is not rendered fallow in autumn, nor does it die in the deep freeze of winter. But none of these other seasons can match the bounty of hope that greets us in the spring.<br />
<br />
When we look at the life of an incarcerated person, however, we find just the opposite. Most long-term prisoners feel that trying to connect with someone special is all but impossible. Also, the family members and friends of prisoners tend to worry more about their incarcerated loved ones in the spring because they know that prisoners are deprived of such social contact. This ultimately affects every person who knows someone who is incarcerated. Long term this leads to sadness, despair and depression. This condition is again exacerbated by recent laws that limit a prisoner&apos;s access to pen pal lists that once circulated nearly every prison in America. With a pen pal list, many prisoners became acquainted with friends on the outside some even finding the love of their life.<br />
<br />
This is now a problem of the past. Today, web-based pen pal sites like www.friendsbeyondthewalls.com and writeaprisoner.com allow prisoners to post a profile online for the whole world to see.  This method allows prisoners to receive email messages and letters from interested people everywhere. This leaves only one other hurdle to overcome, what about the prisoners who have no access to the World Wide Web? That, too, is a problem of the past. Penacon.com (www.Penacon.com) has also developed, in their web site, a method for a prisoner&apos;s loved ones to establish a profile on behalf of their incarcerated loved one. This option puts the prisoner right out in front of the crowd and relieves the stress that loneliness places on the family members of every incarcerated person in America.<br />

      <title>Valentine's Day Celebrations Expected to Suffer This Year</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Pen Pal Company Revolutionizes Valentine's Day This Year</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/10/2021 --  With all that is going on in America&apos;s communities it would be easy to believe that love is dead this Valentine&apos;s Day. February 14 is the day of love in many communities. It is the time to make new connections and to celebrate old ones. It is a time when family and friends ordinarily gather, and romance is in the air. This year, however, the air is filled with fear and reservation. But <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="there is hope with Penacon" href="https://www.penacon.com/profiles/browse">there is hope with Penacon</a> (www.Penacon.com).<br />
<br />
It wasn&apos;t long ago that companies like Penacon.com, Writeaprisoner.com and friendsbeyondthewallls.com led the way in revolutionizing how prison pen pal services kept America&apos;s incarcerated communities connected. That connection, which is now mainly web based, benefits many more people than just prisoners. It also benefits people on the outside who are homebound, lonely or underprivileged. Now during the current pandemic Penacon stands up for change once again.<br />
<br />
The world is now witness to, yet another holiday affected by the sickness that surrounds many communities. The usual gatherings, celebrations and first dates that mark the holiday of love are all but cancelled this year. But love will find a way.<br />
<br />
As more and more people turn to reduced contact interactions, many find their hearts desire on the internet. Falling in love with someone before actually meeting them in person has become more and more common. Many Americans have even turned to finding love within the communities of incarcerated people. Many of which are soon to be released. With this new trend comes it&apos;s own set of difficulties. The influx of people turning to online romance leaves many media platforms overwhelmed and slow.<br />
<br />
This is where Penacon has once again met the need as they lead the way. Anticipating the surge of use Penacon has added to their staff to better service the busy nation. With their improved service comes the speed and efficiency of online enrollment and their 24-hour service guarantee. Love and friendship are at the fingertips of their users.<br />

      <title>Discover the Most Successful Resolutions for 2021</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Prisoner Resolution Needs Only to Survive the First Step</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/13/2021 --  At the start of every year people often resolve to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="make their life better" href="https://penacon.com/blog/">make their life better</a>. Among the most common resolutions is to lose weight, be happier and to save money. As with most New Year&apos;s resolutions these, too, are not likely to survive the first month. Luckily, some resolutions need only the first month to have a long-lasting effect.<br />
<br />
People who are most in need of change this year are those who are confined in America&apos;s prisons. Prisoners now face the rapid spread of the Coronavirus, peer pressure and social change. Prisoners more than anyone want a change in their lives. And a prisoner who wants to be happy, connected or even find love needs only to take the time to sign up.<br />
<br />
The most important thing a prisoner can resolve to change is the way of thinking that brought them to prison. This is best achieved by changing the people in their social circles. At one time such a thing was impossible to do, but today new friends are easier to find with the help of pen pal services. Prisoners who have pen pals are exposed to positive influences that are unlikely to exist among most prisoners. With positive influence prisoners are 100% more likely to successfully reintegrate into society, upon release. Prisoners who resolve to be happy, make friends or find true love often get much more than they ever expected. Even with all the benefits of prisoners having pen pals, the number of available pen pals has always been far below the demand. Until now.<br />
<br />
Among the many pen pal services listed on the internet today, only a handful of them focus on reaching those inside the prisoners. It&apos;s the few companies like <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Penacon.com" href="https://www.penacon.com">Penacon.com</a>, Writeaprisoner.com and Friendsbeyondthewalls.com that understand the impact that letters have on the hearts of prisoners today. These companies provide a web-based service, to help those prisoners who seek a friend, a pen pal or even true love find the hope that they seek. These web-based services also have an option for the friends and family of prisoners to establish an online profile on behalf of the prisoners that they love.<br />
<br />
With today&apos;s technology, anyone can help a prisoner achieve their goal of obtaining a better life by helping them get connected with a positive influence. This year it&apos;s easier than ever.<br />

      <title>Many People Are Hard to Buy for During the Holidays</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">No Matter the Occasion, There Is Always A Solution</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/17/2020 --  There is a hard to buy for person on every Christmas list. This, coupled with gift availability, can turn hard to buy for into almost impossible. If, however, the loved one is in prison, the almost impossible turns into total frustration. There is an easy answer for families with incarcerated loved ones to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="send inmates gifts." href="https://penacon.com/blog/gifts-for-prisoners">send inmates gifts.</a><br />
<br />
The most important thing a prisoner can receive during the holiday season is connection with the world they left outside. The gifts that prisoners most long for during the holiday season are letters from friends and family. They want to feel the joy of knowing someone cared enough to write a letter. The best way to ensure that prisoners receive letters regularly is by signing them up for a web-based pen pal service. <br />
<br />
Now, more than ever, web-based pen pal sites have features that allow communication with prisoners without sharing a physical address. With more prisons using email services like JPay and CorrLinks (inmate emailing) is easier than ever to begin a pen pal relationship with a prisoner. The email feature provides such a high level of security that most pen pals are not bothered by the crimes the prisoner may have been accused of. Therefore, to fill a difficult Christmas list and fill a long-term emotional need of an incarcerated loved one, consider a web-based pen pal service. <br />
<br />
Some of the most popular pen pal services include writeaprisoner.com, friendsbeyondthewalls.com and penacon.com. All three companies include a variety of features to choose from and all have long-term subscription options. When browsing one of these sites, a gift giver will find ideas that include: -<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="first time sign-ups" href="https://www.penacon.com/secure_signup">first time sign-ups</a>, where a loved one can create a prisoner profile for the first time;  -subscription renewal options;  -profile updates; and  -photo gallery updating.<br />
<br />
With modern technology, it is easier than ever before to shine a bright light upon a prisoner&apos;s heart. <br />

      <title>Loneliness Has Been Identified as a Leading Cause of Depression</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Is America Looking to Artificial Intelligence as A Replacement to Human Relationships</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/29/2020 --  With the new millennium came the widespread use of email, text messaging and new ideas for the application of artificial intelligence. These new features of life have made most tasks easier, faster and more efficient. But, has the increased ease of the average day minimized the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="need for human interactions" href="https://penacon.com/blog/looking-for-someone-special-how-about-a-pen-pal">need for human interactions</a>?<br />
<br />
People have fantasized for years about the application of robots and artificial intelligence. Americans are first introduced to the idea as children with cartoons like &apos;The Flintstones&apos; all the way to the &apos;Jetsons&apos;, and increasingly widespread in the more modern productions. It&apos;s no surprise then that the people of today have little trouble with warming up to computer applications such as Alexa, Siri, and Replika.<br />
<br />
It&apos;s easy to see that artificial intelligence can help make life easier. It can make an average day even delightful. But, even with the leaps of advancement AI is still a long way from replacing human relationships.<br />
<br />
Amazon&apos;s Vice President Toni Reid- talking about Alexa- says that, "AI can help make life easier- and at times, more delightful- I don&apos;t see AI as a replacement to human relationships."<br />
<br />
In agreement with Reid&apos;s opinion, Maja Mataric a computer science professor at The University of Southern California, recently said that, "We are not going to make robots that take care of people so people can be isolated in their own little cubes. That will lead to more problems. Instead, what we do is to use machines to bring people together."<br />
<br />
That effort has recently become a reality. A new trend in electronic introductions has emerged in the last couple of years. Just recently companies like Penacon.com, Writeaprisoner.com, and Friendsbeyondthewalls.com have perfected the web-based prison pen pal service.<br />
<br />
The newly evolved pen pal services have eliminated the problem of a lonely person having to wade through the large number of robots that are usually working in other match making sites. With web-based prison pen pal services every profile is validated as a real person. Without actors and imposters, the to-good-to-be-true fear is eliminated.<br />
<br />
Lonely American people can select from the thousands of non-violent prisoners who will be released this year. They can log on to one of these sites and start a long-lasting relationship without fear or being misled by a machine.<br />
<br />
Anyone can battle their own depression and loneliness by interacting with other people that want a companion. One of the largest groups of willing companions is found on the web-based prison pen pal service sites.

      <title>IT's Time to Take a First Step</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The Rest of Your Life Starts Today</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 08/25/2020 --  Millions of Americans feel less than fulfilled in their personal lives. Many seek the love of a lifetime and some seek that special friend that they can rely on. Some of those lonely people live their whole life without making that connection, and only because they didn&apos;t know where to look. The time for change is now, those who want to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="meet a special companion" href="https://penacon.com/blog/tired-of-being-lonely">meet a special companion</a> must take that first step toward a different life. Lonely people don&apos;t have to leave their lives to fate, they can take control by learning the facts.<br />
<br />
Tens of thousands of eligible singles are released into local communities every day. On November 7, 2019, Texas Attorney Jeremy Gordon reported that the population in the federal prison system alone decreased by 544 people from the previous month. That&apos;s not counting the large number of men and women who are released every month to make room for those who are newly committed.<br />
<br />
The best kept secret is that those people who are being released are just like everyone else, with one slight difference. They have the experience of loss. They after release treasure time, companionship, and affection. <br />
<br />
But, above all they treasure loyalty. Many American prisoners have been betrayed by their own lawyers, they have been over sentenced, they have been marginalized by their elected officials, and a large number have served long sentences even though they are actually innocent. It&apos;s sad to say, but most prisoners feel that they can trust only those who have suffered with them. Those who are truly seeking a meaningful relationship with a man or woman of experience should build that trust by writing to a prisoner now.<br />
<br />
Getting to know a prisoner has been made easier and safer than ever before. Companies like Penacon.com, Writeaprisoner.com, and Friendsbeyondthewalls.com have established web-based pen pal services where willing people worldwide can anonymously browse profiles and choose an eligible prisoner. Those eligible prisoners often develop a deep level of loyalty and admiration for those who write letters to them throughout their incarceration. Prisoners feel like their pen pals were there with them and for them during their time of need. Loyal prisoners have many times over become the dedicated companions of lonely people who took the time to write that first letter.<br />
<br />
Anyone can write a prisoner and many times that first letter will drive the darkness from a lonely soul. For more information about how to meet a prisoner visit, www.Penacon.com.<br />

      <title>Ending Criminal Conduct and Reaching for Rehabilitation Is Best Achieved by Expressing Acceptance and Support</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Lawless Behavior and Attempts of Self Harm Are Much Too Often Cries for Help by The Broken Hearted</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/27/2020 --  Year after year studies reveal that <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title=" American prisons are filled with people who suffer from mental and emotional problems" href="https://penacon.com/blog/the-innocent-suffer-the-most"> American prisons are filled with people who suffer from mental and emotional problems</a>. Thousands of prisoners, currently confined, believe that no one cares about them causing the prisoners to then question why they should care about themselves. Expressing concern for a prisoner is not expensive or excessively time consuming, but it is usually the most important effort in assisting in someone&apos;s rehabilitation. Often something as simple as writing a letter</a> or sending a birthday card to a prisoner fills their heart with hope, hope that someone cares.<br />
<br />
A common fact that escapes family members of prisoners is that a letter from even a stranger helps. A letter of encouragement from anyone can brighten a prisoner&apos;s day, and a number of letters can re-establish a sense of self-worth. With self-worth and the smallest of opportunity comes a new life, a life with significant meaning. Families who wish to see change in an imprisoned loved one, now have the option to engage a system of concern that helps to replace that sense of self-worth before the inevitable release. These are things that the family and friends of prisoners can do that far surpass Congress&apos; efforts in the First Step Act.<br />
<br />
Fighting crime with love and hope has now become a reality. Families and friends that wish to help reform a loved one, can now invoke the assistance of caring communities by taking advantage of web-based pen pal services. Any family member or friend can establish a profile on the behalf of an imprisoned loved one to let their love shine through.<br />
<br />
Establishing a web-based prisoner profile has become easier and safer than ever before. Companies like Meet-An-Inmate.com, Penacon.com, Friendsbeyondthewalls.com, and Writeaprisoner.com allow family members and friends of prisoners to sign their loved ones up from the comfort of their own homes. These companies know the impact that social interaction can have on the future conduct of current prisoners, and they encourage people from all over the world to become a part of their rehabilitation. Making this feature available allows family members and friends of prisoners to take an active role in the rehabilitation of those they care about. There are thousands of pen pals worldwide who are waiting to bring hope to those serving long prison sentences.<br />

      <title>Americans Are Coming Together to Change the World</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Some of The Most Influential People in The World Have Been Prisoners</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/27/2020 --  Everyone in America who listens to a day&apos;s worth of news, in 2020, will hear about the upcoming election, health care and prison reform. Although the first two subjects seem to have been in discussion for decades, the third is relatively new. Prison reform and criminal justice reform have become the hot topics of our modern time. But the need for both have been in the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="hearts of prisoners" href="https://penacon.com/blog/looking-for-someone-special-how-about-a-pen-pal">hearts of prisoners</a> since the beginning of time.<br />
<br />
As America moves forward, in correcting the mass incarceration travesty, it should take note that the most influential reformers have been prisoners. Some of the most active have moved entire nations. If it were not for the guidance of prisoners like Nelson Mandela in Africa, and the Biblical Patriarch Joseph in Egypt, nations would have suffered.<br />
<br />
Churches across America today are well aware of the value of prisoners. Take for example the New Testament Apostles Paul, Peter, and John. All were previously incarcerated, and all were great influential religious leaders. These Apostles are also responsible for the spreading of the gospel of Christ and the construction of the modern Christian churches.<br />
<br />
Churches, religious organizations, and believers of all kinds have taken some of the most effective steps to rehabilitate those who have gone astray. Even the United States Congress recognizes this fact as it specifically named religious organizations in their recently enacted First Step Act.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, today&apos;s religious believers touch prisoners by reaching out through prisoner correspondence. The power and impact of a letter or post card is more effective than all of the many sermons delivered to any prisoners who are incarcerated. What most people don&apos;t know is that a letter reaches a prisoner no matter where in a prison he or she may be. A letter also reaches a prisoner on a very personal level. Just taking the time to write a prisoner&apos;s name and number on an envelope is more personal than all the organized events that a prisoner must choose to attend. When someone writes a prisoner a letter, they have his or her attention. The prisoner has been shown that someone cares about who they are, and at that moment the writer is the most influential person in the prisoner&apos;s life.<br />
<br />
Today&apos;s churches, that are changing America, are the ones that are reaching out to prisoners and changing lives. They are reaching past the guards, the gangs, and the drugs in prison. They are showing forgiveness and acceptance, they are the leaders in the greatest movement of our modern time.<br />
<br />
In today&apos;s communication driven world corresponding with a prisoner is easier and safer than ever before. The old unwanted pen pal list services are all but abolished and are now replaced with the more modern web-based pen pal services. Americans today can choose from many companies like Writeaprisoner.com, Penacon.com, and Friendsbeyondthewalls.com to safely and anomalously search for and select a prisoner to encourage. Even after a choice has been made the prisoner can be contacted through email so there is never a need to provide a home address.<br />

      <title>Many Americans Find Companionship to Be the Gateway to Inner Peace</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">People Are Social Creatures That Require Frequent Interaction to Be Happy</p><p>North Dighton, MA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/23/2020 --  It has been proven time and again, that <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="people who enjoy companionship are happier" href="https://www.penacon.com/profiles/browse">people who enjoy companionship are happier</a> than those who do not. Likewise, people who cannot find companionship often fall into depression. The desire for personal interaction, today, is so prevalent in our society that literally billions of dollars are spent to find it. And thousands of businesses, organizations, and churches are established to fulfill the need.<br />
<br />
It&apos;s unfortunate, however, that millions of Americans live out their daily lives in a state of perpetual loneliness, even though they have the freedom and resources at their fingertips to overcome it. It&apos;s indeed disturbing that lonely people neglect to, or no longer know how to, seek personal interaction. Even more disturbing is that many lonely American are deprived of the freedom to seek relief.<br />
<br />
People who have remained lonesome for years on end often lose touch with the wherewithal to overcome their pain. Those unfortunate people also sometimes forget what it was like to be happy and no longer understand what they have lost. Similar are those people who have lost their freedom to seek companionship. They, in many cases, not only forget the joy of interacting with caring people, but they also lose the desire for the freedom to seek it.<br />
<br />
Many American prisoners today suffer a fear of the freedom that they no longer understand. They have spent so many years in a state of confinement that they dread their ensuing date of release. Ironically, thousands of prisoners covet the dream of being released so much that they feel that release itself actually robs them of their years long dream. For many prisoners, the approach of the upcoming release date has caused extreme anxiety-which has also resulted in physical illness in a number of cases.<br />
<br />
Recent observations, by incarcerated Americans, have revealed a dividing line between prisoners who freely embrace their release and those who fear it. That line is struck as a sharp division between prisoners who enjoy personal interaction with people on the outside and those who do not. Prisoners who will suffer anxiety, when their date approaches, are easy to identify. They are the ones who are infrequently called to a visit, the ones who infrequently stand in line to use the phone, or who never receive a personal letter.<br />
<br />
The loss of even the negative personal interaction, suffered in the worst of prisons, is a contributing factor to the separation anxiety that departing prisoners feel upon release. Once prisoners are released from prison, they are prohibited by law to maintain contact with old friends from prison, no matter whether they, too, are released or still confined. Therefore, prisoners who were unable to make friends with people on the outside, are released to total loneliness. As such, prisoners confined by law are no different, than those people who are imprisoned by the walls of their own lonely home.<br />
<br />
In the current day and age neither our prisoners nor the lonely in our communities have to suffer. In recent years technology has become so advanced that lonely <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="people in our communities can reach inside of a prison, via email, and touch people just like themselves" href="https://www.penacon.com/">people in our communities can reach inside of a prison, via email, and touch people just like themselves</a>. What often goes unnoticed is that when two lonely people meet, they are no longer alone. Through frequent communications two lonely people often discover that their cloud of despair relents to rays of hope that can warm the coldest of hearts.<br />
<br />
Due to growing awareness, of much needed prison reform, people from all walks of life are called to interact with prisoners. As of December 21, 2018, a new law Called the First Step Act has made provisions for faith-based groups and other Americans to get personally involved. Those who want to be a part of this movement can take advantage of web-based pen pal services, that have features that allow communication with prisoners that don&apos;t require the sharing of a physical address. And with more and more prisoners using email services like JPay and Corrlinks (inmate email systems) it is <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="easier than ever to begin a pen pal friendship" href="https://penacon.com/blog/how-to-write-a-pen-pal-for-the-first-time">easier than ever to begin a pen pal friendship</a> and get to know a lonely American prisoner before sharing a physical address (if ever). The email feature, on many sites, provides such a high level of security that most current pen pals are not even concerned about the crimes the prisoners may have been accused of.<br />
