Not sure if your town has it, but in New York City, we have a program called the Doe Fund which is specifically for felons on parole who are trying to get back on their feet. I'm sure there are other programs like this out there that he needs to look into. He should try networking with people. Maybe someone he knows owns a business and he can work there. I know it's frustrating right now. But remember the economy is tough for people to get a job that aren't felons. Now would be a good time to go back to school. Possibly a trade school?
I think his time would be better spent volunteering in the community instead of spending time with his jail buddy. That's really not a good relationship. He's asking for trouble.
