It’s exciting when I have the opportunity to leverage my skills and insights to help effect change in the real world. When my wife began corresponding with a loved one serving time I noticed not only the lack of commercial options available but also the number of regulations governing what can be mailed to inmates.

Mail Byrds is a company that creates greeting cards specifically for people incarcerated. Not just to mark life events and big occasions happening outside, but to inspire hope and to help turn their time into something more productive and meaningful. Just because someone is in prison doesn’t mean that their life is over, nor does it mean that they should forget that they have value. Mail Byrds seeks to deliver love and optimism where it is needed most.
