That was my thought too as if they're often standing around wondering how to stay preoccupied, or better yet the likely response of "sure thing crazy pants" after hearing the pitch from a stranger for a whopping $25 reward.
Why not go to your local police precinct - tell them your concerns and ask them for advice - maybe they could make that call?
Believe it or not, I got a crazy letter from another person a couple of years ago. I took it to the police station and they asked me "what do you want us to do?" They said they couldn't do anything. I just kept it in a file entitled "Crazy Mail" or something like that.
Has nothing to do with women being empowered to stand up for themselves. If you know any police officers, ask them. Preditors do look for opportunities
A woman with a male presence in her life is less likely to be a target. I am a former strength athlete and I am all for girl power but I don't mess with crazy men. I have had guys from work escort me in situations in the past when my husband was not around
I believe in diligence in regards to safety not cowering in fear. Better to be shrewd than a victim.

I'm guessing, the first "crazy letter" you got wasn't signed with a valid return address.
Wonder if the two incidences are related. I've never gotten a "crazy mail" letter in my life, and here you got one and also someone has spread your name around a prison as an interested advocate.
I didn't read the whole thread so someone may have suggested this already but if you get another letter, or if you can put your original letter back in it's envelope.. just write on the envelope..
return to sender..no such person at this address.. or wrong addressee.. and throw it in a regular mailbox so it goes back to the prison.

You determined that off the fact that she received a single letter from an unknown inmate?
If I wanted to scam people and I had a lot of time to write letters I'd pull up public records or buy a list from a marketing company. Go to your property tax assessor site (in most states) and type in the name of your street, find out the names and addresses of all your neighbors, it's that easy, and a lot more likely than someone got your name from someone else and is stalking you by snail mail for when they get out of prison.
