Notice concerning PenPal requests:

Please Read Carefully: Requests placed on this site have been placed here by inmates held on Death Row. Lamp of Hope has made every effort to ensure the correct identity of those requesting pen-pals and frequently rejects 'impostors'. However, we take no responsibility in the case of misrepresentation. Caveat emptor!

Lamp of Hope will ONLY edit or remove advertisements in response to specific, signed letters from the inmates, actual legal orders issued by a judge or at our discretion. NOTE it is VERY unlikely that we will respond to requests from other pen-pals or those claiming to be legal representatives of inmates, without specific backup from the inmate themselves.
