Black/African American | Other

Hello there... this ad has been up for over 2 years now and no one has actually reached out to me so far... and it's just crazy because you all are scrolling past the realest person on this Earth. I'm loyal, honest, kind-hearted, and nonjudgmental. My only downfall is that I don't have anybody to kick it with who isn't family, and that does get frustrating.

See, I'm in prison for a…

Benito Salgado

25 | Straight | Illinois

Hispanic/Latino American | Muslim

I'm from Chicago, IL. I spend my days reading, writing, learning new things, working out, and listening to music. I try to keep myself busy for the most part.

I know time is flying, and I'll be out before I know it, so in the meantime, I'm preparing myself for that day so I would…

24 | Straight | Illinois

Black/African American | Christian

I'm not sure where to start or end. I'm not perfect, and after reading my charges, you may believe the worst. I just ask for the proper opportunity to explain and show that I'm far from what my charges say. I'm worth having a friendship with because I'm caring, trustworthy, loyal, open-minded, and honest. Plus, I'm a great listener.

I'm 23, and my birthday is on March 7th, making my…

Hello to all of the people out there in the free world. My name is Clarence. I’m not much of a writer and I’m not that good with expressing myself, so please bear with me.

My name is David Dudley, but friends and relatives call me Montana. I would describe myself as outgoing, spontaneous, funny, down-to-earth, and loyal beyond what one could imagine.

Marquis Nichols

31 | Bi-sexual | Illinois

Black/African American | Spiritual

Hey, my name is Marquis, but I go by King Quis or Quintessential. I'm 30 years old, and I'm now learning to love myself. According to society, my worst trait is that I'm bisexual, something I've always struggled with accepting. Since my mother passed away, I've done some soul-searching and realized that being who others want me to be or think I should be isn't self-love.

I'm family-…

Multi-racial | Christian

I know this is good to be true because I feel blessed to be able to wake up in a place like this and still be happy, keep a smile on my face, and wait to share joy, smiles, and happiness with someone else to make them happy and hope to be able to put a smile on their face and make their day, week, month, year much brighter. Isn't that what life is all about, being happy no matter what…

Musa Thomas

32 | Straight | Illinois

Black/African American | Muslim

I've been incarcerated ever since I was 18 years old, and my out date is two years from now.

Sometimes my mind wanders, wondering how I am going to do in society after being gone for so long. Lol, I'm anxious and excited. It's crazy, but I'm going to put my trust in God.

Lately, I've been trying to take advantage of all the schooling as possible so securing a job won't be too…
