Hi my name is Raul Arteaga Jr. but please call me Tony. I'm 5'10", brown eyes, jet black hair and a medium build. I'm 1/2 Native American and 1/2 Mexican 'which, by the way, I do not speak to much of' and I'm from upper Michigan (my reservation). I grew up on the south side of the city of Milwaukee.
I'm 36 and my birthday is 08/29/1973. I come from a big family. I have 3 younger sisters and no brothers. I enjoy the outdoor living = cooking out, swimming, camping, boating and last, but not least, riding my motor cycle at top speed. I love riding, it's my favorite thing to do besides _____ ____ ____ and you can take that any way you want. I'll be in jail for a few years, so if anybody would like to write me and keep me company for awhile, please feel free to do so!!

Hope to hear from you soon!
Tony

Please note

I suggest you check with me at swansol@mwt.net if you choose to write any of the prisoners listed before 2012. This is where FFUP started 12 years ago and the blog got so big and the links so complicated and time consuming that I basically abandoned it and started new penpal blogs by category .

I will post new penpals here in the beginning of the blog-check dates of posting for newest ones.

The bigger picture and links to all 70 some blogs are on main FFUP site:www.prisonforum.org

Tips on writing prisoners, letter forwarding, suggestions of penpals, are on main web-www.prisonforum or contact FFUP by email: swansol@mwt.net.

Current addresses of most prisoners are on www.vinelink.com.

for your information

We strongly advise that those under 18 years of age do not write prisoners unless they are related or were close friends before incarceration.

To find the location of any Wisconsin Prisoner, contact records office at 1-608-240-3750 and have name and DOC number or prisoner's birth date ready. The prisons move the inmates around a lot. OR click on this link for WI prisoners: https://www.vinelink.com/vinelink/siteInfoAction.do?siteId=50001
and this link for ALL of U.S. : http://www.vinelink.com/

We have a Post Office Box you can use if at first you do not want to use your own return address in writing a prisoner. Make sure you give us your real address , however, so we can forward the prisoner's mail to you.

PO Box 285; Richland Center, WI 53581

Contact us by email if you have questions or run into problems swansol@mwt.net

Who We Are

FFUP (Forum for Understanding Prisons) is a a small and dedicated group of prisoner supporters. We write and visit prisoners, advocate for them and work with their families. While attempting to help these men and women survive their incarceration ordeal, we also work on the larger issues to help bring about a justice system built on respect for all and belief in healing.

Here in this blog , we are trying to put a human face on our prisoners. Please use our email if you have any questions, comments or would like to help in this most important work. swansol@mwt.net Also, you can go our help page to see details and a copy of our most recent grant request. Even An hour a month typing would be of greatly appreciated.

Mostly , these folks posted here need a friend and contact with the outside. Their environment has very little that is nurturing in it and the simple friendship of a penpal can make all the difference. We are always available for questions and concerns: email swansol@mwt.net
