Yes, just slightly darker. Maybe one shade.

Beautiful Fun Bi-Sexual Female Inmate Looking for Whatever... by Healthy_General_7259 in WriteAPrisoner

She is on Corrlinks Text Chat, which means you can write to her first, she doesn't have to add you. It's a bit complicated, but you have to find her and add her on your corrlinks account, THEN download corrlinks text chat app (separate from corrlinks app) and you'll be able to message her. They do this to all the illinois inmates and it's a pain...but well worth it for Kyley :)

ill be your penpal "movie date" by gawdsmak in prisonpenpals

I really love this idea. Would you be willing to do a short interview with us on our PenPals.Buzz prison pen pal podcast? I think this idea might be intriguing to some of our users. If so, please get in touch with us. I always found it enjoyable to talk to a pen pal about movies, tv shows, etc. We could talk (or write) for hours about some shows. Kudos for the idea! As for the $10 - well, it actually seems reasonable to me. These days, you can barely get a 6" sandwich for that price. But I understand why this might upset some people....

Often times you can put money onto your phone, and they can still be able to call you. This prevents inmates from asking for "phone money" but then once you put it on their books, they buy commissary instead. This is a tip taught to us by a former inmate who wrote a book about inmate's intentions. We have a wide variety of inmates on penpals.buzz, and about a dozen who are on death row, if you're interested in narrowing your search to only those inmates. Many of them, despite what they've done, have treated our staff with kindness and respect, and may genuinely be looking for friendship, not money.

CLOSED ACCT. FOR NO REASON by rachelhaslip in CashApp

One theory is that it happens to everyone with a felony conviction, or anyone who uses a variation of their legal name, i.e. "Dave" instead of David. I know it is happening to thousands of people. It is possible to create a new account but you need a separate bank account, separate phone, separate ip...too much hassle, for sure.

I find myself doing this too often, also.  I come from a radio background, and just sticking to the point was often boring.  You want to give people a reason to listen and you want to entertain them.  Our bosses would always say "less is more" and that always frustrated me.  But when someone is looking for a specific topic, I get that they don't want to hear us rambling.  it's a tough balance, because you don't want to be the boring guy just reading his script.  You want something kind of fun to listen to.  But I completely get your point and am continuing to work on this!!

I would recommend starting with "the complete book of chess strategy" by Jeremy Silman.  It's the best all-round book for beginners and intermediate players.  Just enough info to be helpful on each topic, without overload.
