* Please remember that, even if unsolicited, mail can still result in sanctions against a prisoner.

When writing for the first time say who you are, and if it's relevant that you're from such and such a group. The first letter can be reasonably short, maybe only a postcard.
Obviously when you get to know people better you'll have more to talk about.
