Please write cards or letters to the following prisoners. Even if you just send a card with a brief message, receiving a message of support from the outside world can make a huge difference to the prisoner. Remember all correspondence is read by prison staff, so don’t discuss anything illegal. Also don’t expect a reply as there is a limit to the number of letters each prisoner can write.
