I’ve been incarcerated for over 30 years, and during this time, I’ve had virtually no interaction with women on the outside. Not having female friends or companions for such a long period has left a gaping void in my life. In this testosterone-fueled environment of the prison where honesty and kindness are perceived as weaknesses, I haven’t had much opportunity to express my true, genuine self or develop many meaningful and fulfilling friendships.

I believe balanced relationships are important in life, so I’m reaching out with the hopes of finding a woman interested in corresponding with me, someone who won’t judge me by my worst mistake and provide me with friendly companionship.

I am serving a life sentence, but have been eligible for parole since 2004 (even with a clean prison record, there are no guarantees in Texas). I came to prison at the age of 21 when I was a selfish and reckless alcoholic. I now lead a sober life, devoting most of my time to tutoring fellow inmates, writing plays, maintaining mental and physical health, and practicing meditation. Although I am not a religious person, I am a practicing Buddhist with my core values rooted in both Dharma and secular humanism.

Nevertheless, if you are a person of faith and take the time to write to me, I will respond in kind, so long as your sole aim is not to proselytize me (I am seeking human, rather than spiritual, companionship). Prison can be a lonely and desolate place where people are sometimes tempted to trade in their comfortable life for a harsh existence. I am not one of them. I want to live and share the joy of life with others. Will you join me?
