In practice, posting here because forums consistently give better answers than anywhere else I've tried. The question: Is there an inmate dating app for finding pen pals?
Realistically, quick context: not looking for validation of something I've already decided — genuinely undecided and trying to build a more empirical picture from people who've actually been there, which is not a universal experience. My own history in this space is mixed enough that I don't trust my intuitions anymore, though I would not bet the house on it.
Any firsthand data points are useful, even if they contradict each other, depending on which app you are on. Conflicting experiences tell me the answer depends on factors worth understanding — location, age range, use case, whatever, especially around an inmate dating app. To be fair, that's more helpful than a clean recommendation that might not apply to my situation.
