Pen friends wanted

[We have received the following requests from prisoners in the United States seeking pen friends.]

When all attempts fail, empty loneliness demands me to try harder. Attractive, caring, compassionate gentleman, w/m on Florida's death row. Me, 27 years, 6 ft, 197 lbs, brown hair, hazel eyes. Seeks genuine, true friendship/correspondence. You, female, just be yourself. Answers all. Write to: Frank Walls # 112850, 41-1113-A-1, Union Correctional Institution, PO Box 221, Raiford, Florida 32083.

I would like to have a pen-pal, because I do not have anybody to write to. I am an inmate. My name is Reginald Gene Porter, I am a Black man, 5' 6", brown skin, 165 lbs. I am from Houston, Texas and 31 years old. It would be very much appreciated. Reginald Porter #560746, Ellis One Unit, Huntsville, Texas 77343.

I am a professional male. I have a BA degree in Business/Accounting and am currently working on my second degree in Psychology/Sociology. I'm looking for someone with inner strength, personality that radiates their very essence. Looks would be nice but are unimportant. I'm looking for the person within. I'm very athletic, intelligent, giving, compassionate, loving, and a pillar of strength. Very nice looking, witty, and have a good sense of humor. I'm recently incarcerated, but that's momentarily. I'm looking for that special woman to make my search complete and bring it to an end. Albert Langrum #644410, Ellis One Unit, C-6-319, Huntsville, Texas 77343.

My name is Willie E. Moore. I'm being held captive, or should I say incarcerated, in one of the Texas penal institutions of the USA. I'm a black male, aged 46. Height 5' 9", weight 200 lbs. My hobbies are weightlifting, drawing, reading and writing. I if could find a pen-pal to communicate with I would appreciate it very much. I'm looking for someone between the ages of 40 and 57. Nationality doesn't matter. Must be humorous and intelligent. Willie E. Moore #439551, Ellis One Unit, Huntsville, Texas 77343.

First of all, I must say that I hope that you and your family are doing well and in the very best of health. I'm just a lonely soul seeking companionship in the only way available to me. My name is Vernon Taylor, I'm incarcerated, I'm 38 years old, 6" tall and weigh 184 lbs. I'm a black male, I have black eyes, and curly black hair. My family is deceased and I would appreciate a pen-pal — I will answer all letters. I would very much like to build a writing relationship with you and get to know you. It could be the makings of a bountiful friendship for the both of us, at any rate, at least give it a try. To receive a letter from someone who can understand life, and the feeling of knowing that someone cares enough to write helps being in confinement a whole lot. In the meantime be casual, and take care of yourself. Vernon Taylor # 474 574, Ellis One Unit, Rt 6, Huntsville, Texas 77343.
