Writing from prison?
Pick the door that fits.
Each of the routes below opens an email with a pre-filled subject line. None of them takes longer than a minute.
I need help. Or someone I love does.
You are wrongly convicted, or you are family or counsel writing on behalf of someone who is. Ask us to mail the forms to her prison, or download them yourself on the Forms page. Any kind of case: DNA or non-DNA, and any charge. Free, always.
Write to us → Door 02I'm a reporter, producer, or editor.
We aim to reply within a few business days. We are available on the record on the three topics listed in the Newsroom. We will point you to the public sources behind each one.
Request an interview → Door 03Something else.
Speaking invitation, partnership, student inquiry, or just a question. We do not accept donations. Use this door if none of the others fit. We will route it from our end.
Send a note →Three things happen.
Two real people read everything you send.
Your message lands.
We read every email and every letter ourselves.
You hear back.
A real reply from us. If anything is missing from your request, we will ask for it.
We mail the papers.
We print the forms for her state and mail them to her prison. We do not give legal advice or fill out court filings. It costs nothing, and we do not accept donations.
We can answer: mailing requests, whether we have mailed her forms, a missing or outdated state form, a broken link. We cannot answer: which form she should file, whether her deadline has passed, whether she has a case or what to write. Those are legal advice. The court clerk can answer questions about the court's rules and records, and a lawyer or an innocence organization can answer questions about her case.
Or use this form.
If email is easier than mail, you can use the form below. We aim to reply within a few business days. You can use a real name or a pseudonym — your privacy is yours to set.
Tell us who you are, the state and county where she was convicted, her case number, and what kind of help you are looking for. Letters and messages to us are not private. We are not lawyers, so the law does not protect what you tell us, and prison staff may read mail. Please do not describe what happened in the case.
If you write to us, we will write you back.
Free. Always. No exceptions.
