Our Principles

Feeling remembered & making an impact


For incarcerated women, we want them to feel remembered, beautiful, confident, and emotionally supported, safe to express who they are beyond their situation. It should feel like, "Someone out there genuinely cares about me." For penpals, we aim for meaningful, real connections, a sense of purpose, personal growth, and the joy of being someone’s light in a dark place.

Who is the ideal penpal for BADDIE BEHIND BARS?

We're looking for individuals who are genuine and consistent, open-minded and non-judgmental, compassionate and emotionally aware, good communicators, and respectful of boundaries.

We hope to create connections built on kindness, encouragement, and positive energy, where both parties can experience mutual growth and understanding.
