i'm responding to another letter for the prison outreach program i'm volunteering for, and the person is apparently buddhist and looking for resources
i'll include their letter here
i took longer than i wanted to respond to this because i was uncertain what i could or should send; i was excited to respond but i didn't feel like i could get enough into a few pages and didnt want them to have waste stamps trying to respond for more information -- i would like pen pals tho
currently i know of wat metta (thanissaro bhikkhu's monastery), abhayagiri, and corporate body of the buddha (but they take like four months)
i just dont know what all to say but i'm happy to say something

Greetings,
In which country (or city, if that can be disclosed) does this person reside?
