Reply #12: it is possible to make his own job

[grasswire]

There are plenty of ways to build a career or a life of work without ever having to submit to questions regarding criminal background. You don't say what his degree is in, but I think no matter what it is, there is a way to make one's own job.

He should use his time inside to develop that. Study a trade, use the library, whatever.

But he must also keep his nose very very clean. Stay out of trouble in prison, just mind his own business and watch his back and be very careful about his associations.

I've visited many prisons and read thousands of letters from prisoners. He can get through this, and he still has a future. Having a supportive family makes a huge difference in recovery.
