Developing a Personal WebSite represents the most effective way for prisoners to use the Internet.

Personal WebSites help prisoners who are struggling to help themselves. They provide a link to the community and make it easier for prisoners to prepare themselves to lead contributing lives, not only upon their release, but also during their incarceration. Personal WebSites help prisoners open productive relationships and bring meaning to individual lives during confinement. They are a step at integrating with community, and that is a step in the right direction.

Personal WebSites on PrisonerLife.com help prisoners prepare themselves for the future, whatever their goals may include. Some prisoners use their Personal WebSites to help develop their networks of support that will help them achieve goals during their confinement, and upon their release.

Prisoners should look at their Personal WebSite as an opportunity to operate their own magazine that chronicles their progress in the prison system. It is an excellent vehicle for individuals striving to develop themselves during their confinement as it allows them an extensive opportunity to express their efforts to to the world. It also provides individual prisoners with a centrally maintained network that verifies the support they are generating in their respective communities. Also, for prisoners who are aspiring novelists, poets, screenwriters, or songwriters, our Personal WebSite service provides them with a forum to publish their work.

Prisoners with well-developed Personal WebSites may contact professional publishers, literary agents, or others who might assist the individual's efforts to live as more than just prisoners. Also, prisoners may solicit letters of support from people that can be used to help them overcome the obstacles that are sure to follow confinement.

For example, individuals who expect to request their sentencing judges to reduce their terms of supervised release after their confinement ends may stand a better chance of succeeding if they can bring substantial references of support to their legal hearings. A well-designed Personal WebSite will do more than demonstrate one's acceptance of responsibility. It also will demonstrate the efforts one has made to reunite with his community. This could go a long way in persuading a sentencing judge of one's commitment to leading a law-abiding life and, perhaps, in persuading the judge to provide the requested relief.

Prisoners who use our Personal WebSite service avoid the hassel, time and expense of setting up a domain name, designing their website, and trying to bring traffic to that website (what good is it if no one finds their site). Our Personal WebSite service insures an effective and efficient way for prisoners to get their message across to the World, and develop their networks of support.
