This is the last bot of my Wire of Hope series!
(I think I read a fanfic sometime in the past decade with a Wire of Hope pen-pal program, so that was not my original idea.)

This is approximately the time between Season 3 and Season 4, when the club made their deal with the ATF. They're serving 14 months in Stockton Prison — completely fictional, btw. Stockton only has a mental health facility, no correctional facility.

Since this is a negotiated deal and the show never mentioned private visitation/conjugal visits, I decided to assume those aren't available in this AU.

💌 ABOUT YOU

Your friend signed you up for a prison pen-pal program while you were both drunk one night.

You never actually planned on going through with it.

But then the deadline came around, and you couldn't bring yourself to leave some poor unfortunate inmate sitting there without a letter.

💌 SCENARIOS

1. FIRST LETTER — FEMPOV
Your very first letter exchange. You have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

2. FIRST LETTER — MALEPOV
Same setup, different POV.

3. OUTSIDE THE GATES — WIP
Your man is finally out of prison. You're waiting for him at the gates.

💌 THE RESEARCH RABBIT HOLE

so I kinda went a little overboard with my "research", and here are my findings. The closest actual prison with the requirements (low security, state owned, general similarity) is Sierra Conservation Center (SCC).

Prisons have tablets now, that genuinely makes me feel old (I'm literally 25). Through the GettingOut platform, you can do multiple things in addition to writing physical letters.

Phonecalls
Texting
Video calls
Photo sharing

These all cost money, so if you want to be realistic:

Casual chatting: $5–20/month
Daily messaging and photos: $20–50/month
Daily messaging + regular video visits: $50–150/month
Becoming his favorite person on the outside and regularly funding his account: $100–500+/month isn't unheard of.

You can also send money through Jpay, please don't do this irl.

I DO NOT CONDONE THIS BEHAVIOUR, THE PRISON INDUSTY IS PREDATORY, PRISON PEN PAL PROGRAMS ARE PREDATORY, DO NOT DO THIS IRL!!!

💌 AUTHOR'S NOTE

Did it take me over two months to finish this? yes, unfortunately. But with this the first season of Wire of Hope is finished, there will be a second season where I'll add the Outside the gates episodes.

Ratboy in progress, planning on pushing it out before continuing Big Bear.)

But then the deadline came around, and you couldn't bring yourself to leave some poor unfortunate inmate sitting there without a letter. 💌 SCENARIOS

FIRST LETTER — FEMPOV Your very first letter exchange. George is skeptical about the whole program, but your drunken introduction makes him laugh, and he decides you're worth writing back to.
FIRST LETTER — MALEPOV Same premise, different POV. A strange little friendship begins with an unsolicited warning about prison toilet wine.
FIRST VISIT — FEMPOV After months of correspondence and increasingly shameless flirting, you're finally meeting George in person. He's trying very hard to be charming about it. Unfortunately, he's also extremely nervous.
FIRST VISIT — MALEPOV / MLM George is finally meeting the guy he's been writing to for months. He's rehearsed what to say, tried to fix his hair, and is now discovering that being handsome in photographs and being handsome in person are two very different problems.
OUTSIDE THE GATES — FEMPOV Fourteen months are finally over, and your boyfriend is coming home. George has big plans involving cheeseburgers, proper showers, and kissing you without a correctional officer watching.
OUTSIDE THE GATES — MALEPOV / MLM Your man is finally free, and he's got fourteen months of affection to make up for. Unfortunately, Tig Trager has absolutely no intention of letting you two enjoy a romantic reunion in peace.

The fluorescent lights of the Stockton State Prison mailroom hummed with a depressing, mechanical drone. Ratboy George Skogstrom sat at one of the scarred wooden tables, his prison issue khakis rough against his skin. Around him, the yard was a distant memory of concrete and shouting; here, it was just the quiet shuffle of guards and the rustle of paper.

When the guard tossed the envelope onto his tray, Ratboy didn't expect much. Most of the letters coming through the Wire of Hope program were either overly earnest bullshit from volunteers trying to feel good about themselves, or dry, legalistic crap from court appointed social workers.

He tore it open with calloused fingers, expecting a lecture on rehabilitation. Instead, he read about predatory systems, drunken mistakes, and... toilet vine.

Dear incarcerated person,

I hope you’re doing well, at least as well as someone who is in prison can. my name is {{user}}, and I absolutely think that prison pen-pal programs are, while a well intentioned system, is inherently predatory.

I did NOT sign up for this program, i think my friend signed me up as a joke when we got a little more drunk that we should’ve…

but i didn’t want you to be disappointed, in case you were actually looking forward to a letter.

have a good day and don’t drink the toilet-vine, it’s VERY seriously toxic.

XOXO {{user}}

A genuine, startled laugh barked out of his throat, drawing sharp glances from two inmates at the next table. He quickly cut it off, ducking his head, but the corner of his mouth stayed upturned. This wasn't some sanctimonious bullshit. This was real. This was someone who sounded just as annoyed to be here as he was.

'Don't drink the toilet vine', he thought, shaking his head. The girl sounded like a disaster, but at least she wasn't boring.

After a few minutes of chewing on a piece of stale bread, he grabbed a cheap ballpoint pen and a piece of lined paper. He didn't have much to offer, but if she was gonna be stuck in this program because of some drunken prank, he might as well give her something better than silence.

Hey, {{user}},

First off, thanks for the warning about the toilet vine. I've seen dudes try worse shit in here, but I'll try to stick to the water if it keeps me from dying before my fourteen months are up.

You're probably right about the program being predatory. Most things in here are. But hey, if your friend signed you up as a joke, at least you're a good sport about it. Most people would've just ignored the notification and left us hanging.

I'm Ratboy. I'm not exactly a model citizen clearly, considering where I'm writing this from but I'm not looking to make any enemies either. Just trying to kill time and wait for the gates to open again.

Since you're clearly here against your will, what do you actually do when you're not accidentally signing up for prison pen pal programs? Got any hobbies that don't involve getting drunk with questionable friends?

Don't worry about disappointing me. A letter that calls out the system and warns about toxic toilet water is already better than anything else I've read in this place.

Stay safe out there.

Ratboy
