In the technological age of instantaneous online communication, the term "pen pal" may conjure nostalgic imagery of quaint stationary and stamps from the post office. Yet pen pals aren't solely delegated to the summer camp friendships of childhood. Thousands of people across the world have chosen to take time out of the day to reach out to inmates, significantly improving lives with the simple act of reaching out to say "hello".

The term pen pal may likely conjure up images of lost summer romance, exchange student assignments, or writing letters to soldiers overseas. But there's more to the lost art of written communication than nostalgic whimsy. With more than 2 million civilians serving time behind bars, a pen pal is a valuable link to the outside world.

Utilizing her business experience and the knowledge of the way the prison system works not only in terms of knowing inmates need outside resources or delivering gifts and mail to loved ones locked up but also in relation to the many creative talents and imaginative minds that occupy the halls and cells, Schindelwig developed a business built around these ideas.
