There is a Government program called Vocational Rehabilitation.  It is specifically for people who wish to\nchange or start new careers.  They may be able to help out with Tuition, books, and sometimes cloths for those who are eligible.\nCheck the Yellow Pages. They are usually close to any State Employment Agency.\nGood luck.

I would say either the library or talk to your local newspapers. Maybe courthouses also.

Try the Lions Club in your area or The Department of the Blind.  The Knight's Templar also will help sometimes.  Also, the Workforce Development Force will sometimes help so the person can become employable again.  Many of the universities will help also.  \n\nI hope this helps.

There are many community organizations that train convicted felons for the trades.  Also they have companies in line willing to hire properly trained men and women.  I don't know where you live so I can't direct you specifically to a certain one.  Try contacting your local employment office.  Their bulletin boards always have listings for these organizations.

No there are plenty of programs designed for felons to get there life back on tract. You may be able to go back to school depending on your desired field and get the taxpayers to pay for it. You should go to your local DHS or CPS office and they will be able to refer you to where all of that information will be available for you. Good Luck!!!

Boy, I'm with you there! Maybe you're looking for the Appeals Board, listed under the name of the prison. Find out the name of the Commissioner of the Appeals Board for the prison, write a letter, and then make an appointment.\n\nAlso the Board of Trail Lawyers for your state has a pro bono plan where (in this case) you'd want to make an appointment with a criminal lawyer for a nominal fee (e.g. $25.00; it's usually a 1/2 hour appointment). Bring as much information (documentation) and a typed up summary of your friend's situation so the attorney can read through it quickly, assess the situation, and offer some good advice and a plan of action. He or she may write a letter on your friend's behalf to the Board of Appeals. The phone number you would call to set this up would be Lawyers' Reference or Lawyers' Referral division of your state bar association (where all attorneys have to be licensed and registered to practice law).\n\nA general source of prison information is:\n\nwww.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison\n\nGod will bless you, Sally, for being such a good friend. Good luck. Your friend is very fortunate to have such a loyal and fair (and feisty) friend in you.\n\nFormer Legal Secretary

I think that there is one on Division street on the east side of Portland (Oregon that is).  Check with social services and they should be able to better assist you.

There is a non-profit organization called Prison Entrepreneurship Program which is described as "a Houston-based nonprofit organization that leverages the skills of senior business executives to constructively redirect these talents and equip inmates and former inmates with entrepreneurial training—enabling them to productively re-enter society."\n\nhttp://prisonentrepreneurship.org/\n\nAs for small business loans, felons typically find it hard to get one, even SBA. SBA adopts a "cautious" approach to lending to felons and oftentimes bases its decision on how serious the crime committed was and whether there is strong likelihood that the offense will be repeated again.

There are several in the Little Rock area that I am aware of, but funding is tight so they change every few years.  I had a friend in one in West Central Little Rock, but I am not sure of the name.  Contact the parole department and they can probably help you (Blue pages).  If the parolee does not have a place to parole to, they will probably force him (or her) to go into a halfway house anyway rather than keep them locked up.  I hope this helps, I have a lot of friends in the ADC and have been through this before.  Good Luck!
