You do not say why the guy is on parole. This makes a difference, to some extent. The guy didn't get on parole from "not being a bad guy." Had he not committed a crime in the first place, then he wouldn't be in this situation. How can an employer NOT take this into consideration before entrusting someone important tasks?
That said, you are right. An ex-con or paroled man is up against the wall. There are things he can do, however, if he is willing to put some effort in. First, he does have to go to the anger management program. Stop making excuses and just go! There is a reason they sent him there. He sure is not going to find a job back in jail.
Second, he will have to start small with work. Go work for a store or restaurant, which is going to be less fussy about who they hire. If he is having problems finding a job, go to a temp agency. Ask the parole officer if there is a good program to help former criminals work. If he will not help, call the local police station and ask them. He must work hard and prove that he is trustworthy, and he'll work his way up. You are right that it is not right to be without money or insurance, but no one gets those things for free. You have to work for it. Good luck to "the guy!"

He should write to the judge who sentenced him and, in great detail, tell the judge of all his efforts to get a job. List every employer he has applied with. Tell the judge his parole officer is threatening him with jail if he doesn't take the anger management class and he can't take the class because he can't pay for it . This should be handled by his lawyer, but if he doesn't have a lawyer get all this down on paper and tell the judge before the parole officer has him re-arrested. Even a letter to a judge gets filed in the court file. Make sure you put the case number on the record. Tell the judge he really wants to take the anger management course but the parole officer will not let him do so without paying. If he tells the judge all this things, he will not be held in contempt of court and won't get throw in jail without a hearing. It could also trigger a change in parole officers if his comes off as a "hard ***" or unreasonable.

This is one of the stipulations of being on parole or probation. Many of the rules do not have to be law breaking rules in order to go back to prison. Does it make it right, no. However, I feel many prisons need to work on improving Transitional programs into the community and probation/parole officers should help the individual if they are struggling and offer guidance. Most POs would rather just lock them up.
Many people in society do not realize that many people are in prison for petty charges. Most inmates are good people who made bad mistakes. Many of the inmates when they are released want to move on with their lives and be a productive member of society again. It makes it difficult if employers can deny a job application just because the person has to check "yes" for being a felon. The employer does not have to ask what the crime was.
My husband is in prison and may be eligible for parole next October. He will have 2 weeks to find a job or he has to go back. Most people who don't have a criminal record have a hard time finding a job in 2 weeks and it will be amazing if he does find something!

1. He has to go to the anger management classes. I don't know if they cost anything or if it is free because it is court ordered, but if he doesn't go to the classes then he'll be going to jail. It may not be right, but it is the law.
2. The reason I don't agree with the current prison system is because when they come out of prison, nobody wants to hire them and there is no system to put them back into society after they have paid their debt to society. That is another topic and I could go on for days on that. This guy will have to scrape the barrel for a while....fast food jobs (a good way to get food), stock jobs, work trucks/day labor (pays by the day!), landscaping/construction (works for immigrants too because you can work off the books).
3. Best of luck to him, and let him know that there are still people out there like me who are praying for him and hoping that he's still hanging in there. As for all the haters out there, prove those bytches wrong!!!!!!

Perhaps this person need to go back to school to be re-educated. And if this person has an anger problem that needs to be managed, then perhaps he should do so, especially if the unmanaged anger is what got him into jail.
You said that he can't find a job because nobody wants him? I think that this person really needs to sit down with himself, and perhaps a councellor, and really think on why nobody wants him, and then work on those issues to make himself a productive human being that he can be proud of, and that others can be proud of.
We all have the ability to do that. And in North America, we have so many options available to us to help us do this, that do not cost us a cent. There is no reason why this person cannot get out of the hole he seems to find himself in.

well if you have any friends maybe you can ask them for a recommendation. i know its hard to get a job after you have been in prison but its not impossible. most of the people wo wont hire you are probably afraid of you just because you have been in prison. just have a friend say that you were always a good hard worker and that you have made some mistakes and learned from them
