From Prison Cells to PhD (P2P) would like to invite everyone in our network to become a Pen Pal. There are currently somewhere around 2.2 Million people in our nation's jails and Prisons who are impacted by the justice system. Some studies show that pen pal relationships can help a justice-impacted individual feel less isolated, provide a sense of identity, and give them hope for a life beyond their current situation. According to the same study, individuals who choose to participate on the other side of the situation find a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction in this relationship. It is someone's chance to change a life and help someone else feel a little less lonely.
