haroldI'm a 71 (feels like 171) yr old bi male in a Texas prison. 2022 marks my 19th year in captivity with that much more to go. Rather than be depressed all the time, I created "Podlife" to alleviate the boredom and stress places like this create. I'm still here, I'm human, and I'm lonely. If you feel the same or are just curious, drop me a line. Check out my work in A.B.O. Comix anthologies--hopefully it will make you smile or at least LOL. If I've done either, then I've done my job. If you've ever been confined then you'll see the truth in my cartoons. I never lie; why lie when the truth stretches itself?

JAyYou can call me Jay. Please don't take this letter to be disrespectful. I'm looking for someone that looking for a top gay male that have a passion for pediatric services. I'm a licensed barber, like cooking, movies, reading and music. I'm fun and laid back. I would like to find someone I could write that we have a lot in common. Someone that our friendship will grow to a serious relationship, then to "I do!" I would like to find someone I could spend the rest of my life with. So I guess you could say I'm looking for something serious.

Hello, my name is Devin A. Pemberton, a 44 year old Caribbean male originally from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, but my family and I now reside in Tampa, FL since 1991. I am a sincere, genuine, and honest gentleman. Honesty is the cornerstone of all relationships, whether business or personal. I am writing this letter in high hopes of acquiring a penpal. Prison is a very lonely place, but having a friend is absolutely priceless. A little about me: I stand at 6'2", 225 lbs, athletically built, dark brown, attractive, intelligent, loyal, a great listener, and I possess lengthy, neat, groomed dreadlocks that come to my waist embracing my African-Caribbean culture, roots, history and heritage. On August 20, 2019, I graduated from Blackstone Career Institute with an A.A. Degree as a certified paralegal. I am a credit/debt consultant specializing in credit repair. I am also a published author of an urban erotic novel entitled "Pimp Passion" which is currently on Amazon. Simply Google "Pimp Passion" for the Amazon link to come up. I impressed my publishing company to the point that I now edit and refine manuscripts for aspiring authors: free or incarcerated. I am passionate and relentless in the pursuit of constant never-ending improvement. This prison sentence does not define me but develops me into an asset to whomever I encounter. I am turning this tombstone into stepping stones, these barriers into bridges, and these obstacles into opportunities. I am determined to turn these bars into stars. I am more empowered and powerful than what white Amerikkka has led me to believe. Goals and dreams are all one in the same. Just say you believe and both you will attain. Success comes after struggle in the dictionary and in life. Powerful people never give up. I am a strong bird of promise who defies the odds and the gods and sing my song.

My name is Graham some call me Kracker because of it. The name was given to me by my transgender friends to call back to how I used to be. I have been broken down and shaken to my core by the love and care they have shown me. I am 43 and have been submitting to A.B.O. Comix for about 2 years now. I like various types of music, draw, play the bass, write songs and poetry. I also know and help transgender people with legal work if needed. I am a motivated, dedicated person. I am one of true heart, without all the drama and B.S. I know that all have gone through something. If we didn't go through what we had to go through, we wouldn't be who we are today. When I get released I also hope and want to help transgender people in prison as to their rights and treatments. I'm also looking forward to meeting new people and being a positive self. My other interests are street racing, snow mobiling, camping, fishing, listening to music, watching movies, being of heartfeltness, there for one another in an encouraging way. Hope to hear from you!

I'm a white older lady, love to draw, read and research history. I grew up on a small farm, was a country girl, still enjoy most country music as we all as people. I have 8 living children, all are of course perfect. One, Sam, is gay. He is very important to me. I know people in prison are great pretenders, I like truth. I also enjoy beauty and I see beauty in all colors especially rainbow. Keep me posted, I'm open to all ideas. My dream was to one day do something important to leave for my children to be proud of, and now I'm an artist. I am curious to see how many gay women write me, I'd love to get mail please do write...I have a daughter who is a known genius. She speaks 11 languages. I am trying to make a new life outside these walls. Love you!

Wassup world? My name is Troy but people call me by my nickname which is Q-Tip. I was looking for someone to write. I'm a person who goes off energies and I love getting to know people. I considered myself very open-minded or at least I strive to be every day. I believe being vulnerable, open, honest is the best way to connect with people. Enough about me, I don't want to spoil the experience someone special can explore with me so you have to write me for the rest of the story.
"Criminals" When men first come into contact with crime, they abhor it if they remain in contact with crime for a time, they become accustomed to it and endure it if they remain in contact with it long enough they finally embrace it and become influenced by it. |

I'm 5'4", green eyes, dirty blond/brown hair. I love making people laugh and smile, so naturally, I'm a comedian :) well, sometimes I'm funny and others just dumb...haha! You gotta give a little to get a little love. I am obsessed with health and fitness. This is the first time I've ever submitted anything I've drawn to anyone and honestly this is the first time I've ever seriously drawn anything. I just recently found out I can draw. I think I did okay...

I am SBGM, 5'10", 175 lbs brown skin, bald headed. I am 60 years old, raised in the Bronx and Harlem N.Y. I am seeking correspondence with someone gay or transgender. I would like to share my experience, strength, and hope from a positive non-judgmental perspective. I am currently incarcerated. I have five years to serve. I am awfully lonely. I would like to practice respect and unity with a special someone. I am trying to change. I realized I can't do it alone. I would favor a relocation upon my release. I understand things are busy. I promise to write back promptly. Thank you.

My name is Jordan Jones but I go by Jae. I am 31 years old, a Capricorn, and Jewish. I am currently incarcerated, with a release date in 2024. I hope to find someone honest and confident, assertive and driven to connect with. Words to describe me are: motivated, intelligent, Legs :) I am 6'4", so I hope you can climb knees! I am very creative in language, a lyricist, poet, author and attorney. I enjoy contributing to history and the enrichment of human life through my artistic abilities. In the interest of love and sex, I am turned on by masculinity, dominance, maturity, and sincerity. When two people can maintain their individual identity, while also sharing an intimate bond, magic happens. If you're out there and ready to be yourself, hit me up.

Hello there: what's happening? I could write a ton about myself, as I'm discovering quite a lot as I work on becoming familiar with many aspects of me, but I believe a list of adjectives I feel could accurately describe me will be best for you to see if I'd be someone you'd like to contact...I'll get to bombard you with questions once you write, and our communications will take on whatever dynamics chime off our vibes, when we make contact. The adjectives: weirdo, engineer, mystic, lover, fighter, best friend, philanthropist, writer, musician, activist, hermit, martial artists, occupied/contemplative, metal head, comic nerd, bashful, scholar/scientists, linguist, diverse... There's much more, but I feel there's enough to start a conversation. And I've a habit of being grandiose/long-winded. I've studied word composition maniacally for some years now, so I could attempt to shape more of what's bursting from me in more articulate ways...I hope to inspire and engage people I speak to. I can only currently hand-write letters, so I'll have to have somewhere I can mail you a reply to your letter or J-Pay note.

Hi there! I'm an openly-gay, transgender, queer person. I'm 63 years old, white male and my birthday is 11-08-1958. I'm looking for someone to share letters with. I'm more feminine as far as what I feel like and I like reading mostly gay, queer, and trans types of books and magazines. I've been openly gay since 3 years before I came to prison. I have a 30 year sentence to do and I've done 12 years so far. I come up for parole in 3 years but I pay that no mind, everyone gets out in Texas. So I hope and pray I can get a pen pal that's either gay, trans or queer. Thanks for helping me with this request.
