 Well... how long have you known him for? Do you love him? Do you want to spend your life with him? If you answer more than at least 6 months and yes to the other two, he is right and you should introduce him regardless of what your family believes... this is the love of your life we are talking about. We all make mistakes and should be able to have a second chance.
If, on the other hand, you've gone out with him for less than 6 months and the answer to the questions are I don't know or no... you are right and you should not introduce him. You really don't know where that is going. Spare your family of knowing their daughter is dating someone who just came out of prison and she doesn't really know. A lot of sadness and crying can come of it.
Good luck!
