Must my penfriend have my email or postal address?

Where correspondence is via email this is done through a secure email system, so your penfriend won’t have your email address.

Where someone writes letters, almost all of our members have no concerns about letting their penfriend have their home address. On the rare occasions where there might have been reluctance on the part of one of our members, this changes very quickly once the correspondence begins. The people we write to live in a world where they are despised and mistrusted. You may find that trust between you builds quite quickly. Should you not feel comfortable with this, please speak to your coordinator in the first instance. Remember, you will be writing to someone who is unlikely ever to be free even if there is a change in sentence at some point.
