The Salvation Army Barnabas Pen Pal program seeks to link Christian volunteers with inmates for the purpose of making contact through the written word. The relationship is meant to provide the inmate with spiritual guidance and personal encouragement. Inmates are often very lonely as most families have given up on them and they need to know that someone cares. Pen pals use aliases and all snail mail letters (no emails) are routed through The Salvation Army in Chicago to ensure volunteer safety.
Dates: Ongoing, year round
Time: At least one letter a month
