Idaho Singles Are Looking Behind Bars For Love: “I Can Fix Her”

As the old saying goes: "No one's perfect."

And that couldn't be more true if you're in the market for love. Some people struggle finding true love because they might be setting their bar too high... or too low.

Other lovebirds might even be looking in the wrong place... what if love was behind bars this whole time?

Where Is Love Created?

The cooler temps are all but gone and for many people, spring love is in the air... but where?

Sure, you can try to find "the one" at one of many Boise's downtown nightclubs on the weekend. Shoot, you could even sign up for one of Boise's amazing speed dating groups/events.

OR... you could go on Instagram. And we're not talking about sliding into the DMs of a social media influencer.

One of the more popular Instagram accounts people are finding love on is: @IdahoInmatePenpal

The account boasts a robust 271k followers and seems to be run by the Idaho Department of Corrections. If you're looking for something different, scroll through their account and you're bound to find a diamond in the rough.

Take Aqwane for example - he's only 34 years old according to his profile (he says in the video he's 33), he loves sports, he gets out of prison soon and get this - he loves writing poetry! What more can you ask for?!

Okay, so he has a few charges that include "Grand Theft by Any Common Law Larceny, Embezzlement, Extortion or Receiving Stolen Goods & Controlled Substance-Possession of." BUT! He's open to love and it's very possible that he's a reformed man. And don't worry, the ladies of the Idaho Department of Corrections are also looking for love!

Are you open to beginning a penpal relationship with an inmate? It doesn't have to be a romantic relationship either! Maybe your letter could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
