WriteAPrisoner.com is an online Florida-based business whose stated goal is to reduce recidivism through a variety of methods that include positive correspondence with pen-pals on the outside, educational opportunities, job placement avenues, resource guides, scholarships for children impacted by crime, and advocacy. The site began primarily as a place to post pen-pal profiles and requests for legal assistance for inmates and has evolved to take a more comprehensive approach to addressing the life of an inmate. == Background ==
There are approximately 12,000 inmates profiled on the site, most of whom are incarcerated in the United States. However, the site also includes international inmates. Although the site provides no Internet access of any kind to inmates, it has often been called the MySpace and Facebook for inmates〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Met While Incarcerated )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presos se relacionam por Facebook carcerario nos EUS )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Facebook Prison, WriteAPrisoner.com )〕 by the media. Because the business is housed online and includes inmate profiles, it has been compared to social media; however, most agencies recognize it as promoting traditional pen-pal postal mail because the site provides no mechanism for inmates to access the site online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SC Inmates Connecting Online, Communicating Offline )〕 By 2003 the site had about 10,000 hits per day and presented profiles from inmates in about a dozen countries.〔(Hoosegow heartthrobs )〕 Inmates using WriteAPrisoner.com only have access to postal mail and charges inmates $40 per year to post their profile and photo, which are viewed freely by the public. The site encourages writing directly to inmates or sending a first message through its free e-mail forwarding service. The president and owner of the company is Adam Lovell.〔(Prisons ban inmates from posting ads to attract pen pals )〕 In 2010 the website received about 2 million page views per month.〔(In the pen, seeking pals; Prisoner-correspondence websites serve as eHarmonies for the incarcerated - and sometimes just friendly contact with the outside world )〕
