Love doesn't stop at the gate
Everyone deserves someone who writes back.
I Need Love Too connects incarcerated men and women with people outside who want friendship, pen pals and real relationships. Every profile is created by family and reviewed by our team.
A letter at mail call can change someone's whole week. It says: somebody out there remembers your name.
Why we built I Need Love Too
How it works
Make your profile
Members tell us who they are and who they want to meet. Families build a profile for their loved one inside, and we verify every one.
Swipe both ways
Members swipe on people inside. Families swipe for their loved one, or print the list so they can choose for themselves.
It's a match
When you both say yes, you match. We put the best fits first by age, location and shared interests.
Start writing
Matches unlock the mailing address, and the member writes first. Take your time and get to know each other.
Have someone inside who needs love too?
Build their profile together, upload a photo, and we'll review it within a few days. Their address stays private and is only shared with members who accept our safety rules.
Safety comes first
Never send money, gift cards or account information to anyone you meet here. Report anything that feels wrong and our team will look at it.
