i just got a weird email in myspace
this guy is seeking a penpal and hes in prison

i thought if anyone was in prison they wernt allowed access to myspace or even a computer

Sounds like a scam to me. Be careful...

well I'd say if you received an email from someone in jail, they must have some sort of internet access.

DELETE....

Just delete him..............sounds like trouble

Some prisoners have internet access. I guess it depends on their crime and their prison behavior. I'm not sure the requirements for being able to use the internet, but some are able to

im going to accept him at all
but im going to see if i can find his name in the prison roster hes located in cal

DELETE

usually inmates aren't allowed to access social networking sites. however there are people that will set up accounts for said inmate so that they can have some connection with the outside world. or so they can get mail and stuff like that. i guess it makes prison life easier. i wouldn't know from personal experience. but i do know some people that actually commit themselves to nothing but prison pen-pals. it COULD be a scam. someone wanting money or what not.

just be careful. you never know what people are capable of anymore

At the risk of sounding redundant redundant: delete. Sounds dangerous, and is more than likely a scam.

I can see curiosity got the best of you and you asked about an inmates access to the internet.

But what I can't understand is how you'd accept him? How are you planning to search him out? why?

WHY is the big question...

I would be careful, I know that inmates in michigan are not allowed internet access. But My brother had a myspace before he went to prison and i check it for him, but i dont go emailing people asking them to write to him, i just keep his friends updated and send messages from them.
