- Start it slow. Don’t ask too private questions in your first letters and don’t ask questions about the case. For this a closer relationship basing on trust has to be built. Speak about you and about your hobbies in the beginning. You can ask the prisoner how he/she feels in the moment and about his/her daily life. Give him/her the feeling that you are willing to speak about all with him/her. This way good “talking” starts soon in the most cases.
If you have the feeling, the prisoner is only interested in your money and you feel misused, please tell me.
Many are ashamed of their crime and they believe they would never find a pen friend if they say the truth from the beginning. Others cannot remember their crime because of drugs/alcohol. These are only examples.
