Not exactly my area, I'd have to travel to any prison and Westchester is not too terribly far.
May I pm you?

WHAT? Track down the nice lady who visited them in prison? What for? I can see lawyers and law enforcement being concerned with a violent prisoner seeking revenge. But someone who showed them complete kindness? Plus, I don't think you'd be visiting a lot of ax murderers.

I wouldn’t go alone. Maybe if I had some friends or a group going I would join. But I don’t think I am the right type of person for this job. My husband been a few times to visit people.

Amother navy do you mind enlightening us? Did such a thing happen in the past? A regular prisoner, not a criminal, tracked down an innocent visitor?

I don't want to go alone. I'm trying to reach out to women who go and find a partner or group to join (but right now I would love to talk to someone and see if this is something I can do too).

Being afraid that something 'can' happen is different than sharing that it happened to you.

Was this about visiting or a penpal?
I"m not up to visiting, but I did try to arrange a pen pal through their program without success.

I’m open to both. What happened to the penpal program with you?

Lol. You watch go many movies. Anyway, why would they track you down? To send you a thank you note? I think you can handle that.

I always wanted to do the pen pal thing with prisoners. Was it a one way thing or did the prisoners respond to your letters?

The person doing the arranging seemed disinterested, honestly. I had to keep pursuing her to get set up (and this was after responding directly to an appeal for more pen-pals).
She finally set me up with someone who would be out in 2 months (it can take a month just for letters to get through), which was kind of pointless. You also get to indicate if you don't want to be set up with someone charged with a violent crime, which I selected, but the name I got was someone imprisoned for severe violence.

Can’t believe people are shocked or upset about Amother Navy’s comment. It’s a perfectly logical reason to not want to meet a convicted criminal. Too close for comfort.

I have visited prisoners and wrote letters. It is a mitzvah you earn.
The prisoners are eager for contact from the outside, and they are very grateful. They are so needy that it is easy to be sucked in.
If anyone is seriously thinking of doing this and has questions, I could try to answer what to expect when you go via p.m.. I know I was not prepared.

What do you mean? I don't understand at all the logic in this.
