Seriously Mercury, you should really start vetting these prison penpals. How about some needless pot convictions?

Again someone is assuming the staff has either the intelligence or a clue about the possible repercussions. For intelligent people they seem a little clueless. Or it is yet another dumb gimmick.

Then again, you're assuming that justice is perfect. A woman, with four kids, shoots her husband and then sets the house on fire to try and hide the murder. Eden, ID, where this happened is the middle of nowhere, and pretty poor to boot. I would not be surprised in the least if she was getting the hell beat out of her every day and finally had enough and shot him. Or maybe they were just cooking meth and a gun went off.

In any case, good job. You've managed to sleuth out just enough information to judge somebody for something that happened, without knowing any real circumstances. You must be really proud of yourself for how good your internet skillz are!

You are trying to create a story, System. I just posted the facts. She is a murderer, serving a life sentence. The fact, that she returned to the house a week later and burnt it down to destroy evidence doesn't help her case.

The Portland Mercury is being irresponsible. What's next? Pen pal requests from sex offenders?

I don't think the Mercury is suggesting you offer up your social security number to your prison pen pal or marry them. Having volunteered in prisons and had a prison pen pal, I think it's just nice for other human beings to have respectful, meaningful contact with other human beings. I mean, isn't our extremely broken prison system supposed to be rehabilitating people? There are ways for the rest of us to participate and try to make it better.

@ 1,

obsesses over cyber-stalking inmates. And snitching.

damosa, all i did was post the info of the prison pen pal. i didn't fabricate a sympathetic backstory, i did not add commentary nor judgment until it was asked of me by the manufactured assumptions of SystemA. the charges are of public record, it is neither stalking nor snitching. go back to Tennessee if you don't want to live in a state that uses open information to protect innocent people from manipulative and murderous individuals.

Dude, you're clearly obsessed. And guess what?

YOU are the only person on Earth who gives a shit.

"i did not add commentary nor judgment" - I think that saying "shes a murderer and an arsonist, and therefore ought not to be listed as a potential pen pal" is pretty loaded with judgement. I pointed out that you dont know her backstory in the least, you cant tell if she's a deraged sociopath who would kill again, or what the circumstances were leading up to her crime. All you have to go on is what she's been convicted of. Apparently there is some sort of category of prisoner that is deserving of letters from a pen pal, and another category who's crimes are too heinous to deserve a letter.

I'd much rather be an arsonist/murderer's pen pal than the pen pal of a petty drug dealer or check kiter.

What "possible repercussions" are people worried about here? SHE'S DOING LIFE IN PRISON.

Please wait...
