"In search of a better life"

Women behind bars was founded in May of 1997 when a friend asked to have us place a web page on this site for her daughter. She was in a prison in Maryland and had been there for about 6 months. During this period her boyfriend had found someone else and was no longer writing or visiting and she was very lonely.

We spoke with her after we had put together a web page for her and she impressed us with her genuine desire to make a new life for herself after she was released from prison, in December of 1998. She also asked, if we would create a page for a couple of her friends. Since we were getting email from a lot of men asking if we knew of any other ladies, we decided to do the ladies this service.

Within a few months the site had grown to over 100 ladies - emails exceed 50 a day - a lot letters arrived everyday that we had to address and forward to the ladies.

However, more than all the excitement this site has provided in our lives, we have received a great deal more. There is not a week that goes by that we don't receive a few letters from ladies and emails from gentleman that talk of positive changes in their lives, because of this site.

We hope you enjoy yourself during your visit to our site, and like so many others, you find something that is needed in your life - or you provide understanding and comfort to a lonely soul, and from that your life is made more rewarding.
