well i am assuming that he/she is a friend of yours not like a fellow cohort or whatever, and no im not being all judgemental like that one im holyer than thou ***, ive had a few friends that have, and ultimately it really depends on how much they want to change or get back into life, make them want to transition, and be there to talk, if they want it, and dont be there if they want to be alone, its all hard to tell, but if you knew the person or can read ppl thats a help, just be there for em...thats the easist thing to do and the best

contrary to how many people talk and say they feel take it with a grain of salt,, there are many people in prison who have not did anything, our present justice system is so screwed up they could put mother Teresa in prison, just consider the scandal in Ill where this prosecutor had 47 men convicted for murder and executed later when the F,B,I, got involved they proved 35 of these men were not guilty, the cops lied the prosecutor lied and also knew the cops lied ,The, the prosecutor is now states Attorney General, do you remember the Rampart fiasco where the cops were committing the crimes the putting the blame on others, there are thousands of cases that have got to be retried,
just try to treat your boy friend normal and don't make him feel you are doing him a favor,but, that you do truly care for him,If he decides he wants to talk to you about things fine but don't push him, and don't tell him how much you have sacrificed for him,
if he was busted with other guys try to encourage him to stay away from them as they are a bad influence,or even if he starts to spend time with those who are into something , let him know you support him and he will be okay, love is a strong incentive, to do many things,

Keep him away from the people he use to hang out with,or try to.Ask questions about his life in prison,if he's willing enough to talk about it.And let him know that it's gonna take time to re-adjust to life on the streets and not to be ashamed if some of his habits from prison stick with him for awhile i.e eating fast,habitually tucking his shirt in Little things like that.Also let him know that 5 yrs is a long freakin time and not to think threes ant thing wrong with him if he finds himself missing certain aspects of prison,after all it was his home for half a decade.My husband was in for 7 yrs and has re-adjusted better than I thought.But he does break down every so often because he finds himself missing it and wonders why he would miss a place like that.

Help them find psychological help with free agencies in your area if he suffers from depression. Find a local church and visit it so he can find a network of friends who will help him emotionally, physically and financially. Help him break any relationships prior to being imprisioned who are unhealthy and may have landed him there in the first place.

Help him get a job, keep him busy, keep him away from the people he was involved with before, take him to church, stay in touch with him, let him know you believe in him.
I have a brother who finished his parole, and now has a business and a family.

My friends who've survived prison learned to be enormously passive. It's really important to cut the person some slack for awhile after they get out. Try to put no pressures regarding anything (job, school, family, etc.) for a few weeks.

Let me just say that for the fact that they have a friend like you who is willing to help, that in itself is a huge plus. It's the thought that counts, and that will always apply.

Was it a surprise to your friend that whatever your friend did to go to prison was against the law?
I typically try to stay away from people who have been to prison or jail. People will judge you on who you hang around with. I'd rather hang around with people who don't use drugs and who have graduated from college.
