LOVE YOUR INMATE DAY
Happy Love Your Inmate Day!
Every year, on August 8th, we dedicate a day to celebrating our
incarcerated loved ones. It’s a day to remind them that they are
loved, supported, and valued, even while behind bars.
The backstory
Everyone loves a good backstory. In the case of many of our customers, their backstories have impacted their families in significant ways. Love your inmate day honors that backstory by showing those who are incarcerated that they still matter.
It’s a day for the families affected by incarceration, showing them
they aren’t alone on this journey.
Celebrate LYID on August 8th this year by planning ahead. Photos are a powerful way to connect with incarcerated loved ones — which is why we created Pelipost in the first place.
So your first stop is photo gifts.
One of our favorites is the Love your inmate day giveaway!
Finding ways to bring lightness and joy into a difficult experience is key to making it through the experience. Participate in the Love your inmate day giveaway for a chance to win all kinds of fun prizes, including a Visa gift card, a Pelipost t-shirt, a Love your inmate day bundle, and plenty of PeliPOINTS that you can redeem for free prints on the Pelipost app.
How to EnterAll you have to do is show us your most creative ways to celebrate your incarcerated loved one during this holiday.
There’s a certain stigma surrounding people within this community — a community united by the experience of incarceration.
We created Love your inmate day not only to support our incarcerated loved ones directly but to shatter the stigma. Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s ok to talk about it. In fact, it’s good to talk about it because we’re all people, and we all deserve to feel loved and supported.
Reach out to your loved ones this year and let them know that you see them.
Participate in Love your inmate day — and as often as you want — by sending photos directly to their correctional facility through the Pelipost app.
