If your looking for a social networking site other than Myspace, or similar ones, you might want to check out Ning. Ning was founded in October of 2004 and has grown to be one of the leading networking sites.Ning members have their own page where they can upload videos, photo's, music, and also open discussions and blog.

Pam, a 38 year old Dallas, Texas resident has created a group on Ning, "Prison Hearts" for those involved with prison issues or prisoners. Her brother is a prisoner in Texas doing a life time sentence. She has other loved ones and friends in prison and is a pen pal to many others.

She started out on Myspace and has over 700 friends there, and decided she wanted a place "where the members could interact more than with just me and the whole forum thing is rather boring."

Pam created "Prison Hearts," which currently has 163 members, and growing strong. Prison rights activists, advocates, abolitionists, and family and friends of prisoners have joined forces by joining Ning. It's a great place to network, and get the news out on what is going on in prisons.

There are currently 4 sub groups, prison related created by members of "Prison hearts", Death Row, Florida Inmates , Do Not Give Up Hope and Texas Department Of Criminal Justice

Pam welcomes new members, and new sub groups. If your interested in prison issues, or you have a loved one behind bars, come over and check out "Prison Hearts." It's a great place to go for support or to give support to the family and friends of inmates. Actually it's a great place to network about anything.

I'll check it out. I'm on a small-business network on Ning; I know that they create interesting opportunities for people to test their new ideas. I'm looking forward to meeting some more prison writers and activists.
