FAQ’s
Q: I would like to write an inmate or two; however, I really
wouldn’t want to use my home address. Could I email them
instead?
A: Right now, I’m trying to keep things rather
simple, and being that I do have to worry about the fan/photo
club
as well, I don’t want to overwhelm myself. I do have
help, but sometimes, my help is scarce. Getting a P.O.B. wouldn’t
be a bad idea. Or if you’re thinking about safety, write
inmates with very long sentences.
Q: Do you offer a trial or a shorter time to place an ad other
than one year?
A: As of right now, no, once profiles are up, I’d like
to leave them up. It will be less work.
Q: My letter was returned to me....Why?
A: Be sure that you write down the inmates name, I.D. and full
mailing address as you see it. Normally the institution will
tell you why the letter was returned on the outside of the
envelope. Follow that carefully, and before you send anything,
be sure to ask him/her first if they can receive such items.
Do not put perfume, lipstick, or stickers on the outside
of your envelopes – it will be returned; been there
down that. Also, you should refrain from using the words “pen
pal” – or don’t mention that you found
him on a “pen pal website.
Q: Can a family or friend pay for an ad for an inmate? And how is payment excepted?
A: Sure can. The inmate should sign the bottom of the Fact Sheet so he will know that he is going on the internet. He/She must be at least 18 years old. Payment is accepted in Facility Checks, Money Orders, Bank Checks, Personal Checks (add $6.00 for personal checks), and Pay Pal! Sign up for Pay Pal is absolutely free, and your Major Credit card (Visa, Master, American Express or Discover) is secured!!
Q: Can anyone write to an inmate?
A: Sure. As long as they are 18 or older.
Q: How long will it take for the ad to go up?
A: After I receive everything; pictures, text, payment (checks
have cleared), and the signed fact page by the inmate, give
us 4-6 weeks – probably sooner, but I always like to
give myself the extra time. If I’m out of town, it
will take longer.
Q: I’m new to this, is there anything I should know
or be careful of?
A: Sure. Like any new situation – use caution, be careful,
and be kind without overdoing it. Use good judgment. If you
are a guy writing to a female inmate hook up a sister – you
know, send her some nice photos, etc. etc.
Q: How do I let an inmate know about your service?
A: You can print out the placing an ad page, the order form
page, tell him where you saw my ad, and mail him the info,
and hopefully he/she would want to join.
Q: Will you list an inmate who is not in the United States?
A: Sure would. He would have to fill out and sign the ordering
form page, send me all the necessary info, and payment will
have to be in U.S. money orders only.
Q: Since I don’t have access to the Internet, how would
I know if my ad is up or still online?
A: The only way you’ll know is if you have a friend or
family member go online to check for you. But hopefully, you’ll
be receiving mail, so that will also let you know.
Q: I have no idea what I should say in my ad – can you
give me any tips?
A: Think about all the things that you’re interested
in your hobbies, your accomplishments, your likes and dislikes,
the kind of person(s) that you wish to contact you. You may
want to talk about why you are in prison or if you’re
looking for some legal help. Hope this helps out. Good Luck!
Q: What happens if after a few months I get no response? Are
there any refunds?
A: There are no refunds. So please think twice before you do
this. However, I heavily advertise the site in many magazines,
and the site is new, so there’s very few people on it – less
competition – more exposure for you – THIS IS THE
BEST TIME TO PLACE YOUR AD ... I cannot guarantee results,
only that I do publicize and try to get as much traffic as
I can to the site.
Q: Do you have examples of the pictures the inmates will receive?
A: Yes, Click here.
Q: I would like to place a text ad, because I don’t
have a photo...Could I use my artwork in place of a photo?
A: Yes you may – as long as it’s on paper no longer
than 8 ½ x 11 so we can scan it in.
Q: This is kind of personal – maybe you’ll answer
it ... Do you ever sit down to write the guys yourself?
A: As much as I would like to...it’s very hard. I’m
up til 4,5,6 in the morning filling orders sometimes. I feel
sometimes I have completely given up my weekends and I feel
like I’m overworked sometimes. But once in a blue if
an interesting letter comes with a picture and he looks kind
of interesting, and I just happen to be sippin’ on a
cocktail, I have written a letter or two– but they are few, far, and between. A guy told me his nickname
was ‘horse’ among
some other things – so yes – he happened to get
a letter from me that night. He wasn’t a very attractive
guy, but he was to the point, sweet and sincere and I still
do write him occasionally. I really don’t like when guys
are inconsiderate and write “books” when they know
I have orders to fill. And if the handwriting is bad, that
would be the fastest way for me to put down a letter – the
timing will have to be right.
Q: I've notice in Various Magazine ads your POB, and that you sell X rated DVD's... where can I find them or buy those!
A: Send a SASE to Nubian Princess Ent. POB 37 LWS Timmonsville, SC 29161 for info. YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD. IT IS ADULT MATERIAL... Simply write - Send me info on you DVD's!!!! We'll send you info right away!
