A. Jews are human, with human failings. We estimate there are some 8,000 Jews in US prisons, a very small percentage of the over 2,000,000 inmates held in US prisons. Being such a small minority makes for a very lonely life in a prison population that can be rough, callous and very anti-Semitic … from both authorities and other inmates. This is an important reason that caring pen pals are sorely needed.
