Ever Wanted to Ask a Prisoner Something… But Didn’t Know How?

Here’s your shot to do it—no awkward vibes, no filters, just real answers from real people inside.

---

Let’s be honest.

You’ve probably had questions about prison life that you’d never say out loud.

Like:

• Do they really get phones?

• What happens if you hate your cellmate?

• Is the food actually as bad as they say?

• How do you deal with no privacy... ever?

  
  

We get it.

Asking stuff like that can feel weird, especially if you’ve never talked to someone who’s locked up. That’s why we built this.

Ask an Inmate is your chance to submit a real question or comment—and get a real response. No scripts. No actors. Just people inside, sharing what it’s actually like.

We talk to incarcerated folks every day. Some of them want to be heard. Some of them want to answer your questions. All of them are more than their DOC number.

So if you’ve ever been curious, cautious, or just wanted to understand life behind bars without the BS—this is for you.

Send in a question. Say what’s on your mind.We’ll send it in. And when a response comes back? You’ll see it here.

Real questions. Real time. Real people.

Welcome to the part no one ever shows you.
