If you are under 18, they probably won't let you without your parents written permission & then I highly doubt that you would be allowed in their high security areas.  I would start with your parents if you are underage.  Then, you could try calling the correctional facility job line, which is sometimes listed in the Sherriff Department.  You could also try the Parole Board Department, or Parole Officer.  Good Luck!

Try the NJ Department of Corrections website.  Otherwise, call the prison and ask to speak to social services.  They can supply you with information.  You can also write to him if you get his information from the website.

Although I don't agree with the idea of you aiding this guy, you may want to call social services (or whatever they call it in your state) at the prison.  They will be able to answer all your questions and guide you in the right direction.  Good luck and make sure you keep those daughters safe whatever you do with him.

Jails don't have wardens - prisons have wardens.  Jail has administrative positions but the top job is Sheriff.  As for other positions, you can be a correctional officer and you can work different positions as a CO.  You can work the floors - you can work transport = taking the inmates to and from court/hospital.  You can also work intake and releasal (doing all the paperwork for the inmates that are coming in and leaving.  If you have a medical background you can work in the medical dept.  There is also classification (to see where the inmates should be housed depending on their medical status or if they are gang related/violent or low risk).  I am not sure if the ID dept is considered civilian or if they are officers (they get the finger prints & photos and forward copies of arrest reports to other law enforcement agencies.   They also have some civilian positions - such as in the kitchen.  I am sure that there are alot of other positions, those are just some that I could think of.    They pay isn't much and the population that you have to deal with can be tough at times.  Over all I would think its a good job.  There is certainly job security in that field!

That would depend on what he was put in for in the first place....Factory jobs arnet very glamorous but they generally hire the most ex cons...He should just be upfront with them in the interview and some character references wouldnt hurt either...Good luck to him

Ask the warden at the local prison to have his inmates do the work.\n\nIf he agrees, though, you should but the inmates a nice lunch and some cold drinks.

I work in a medium-maximum security jail.  I am a stock clerk and what I do is when someone gets arrested I get their clothing after they are searched, I sort the clothing and enter the inventory into a computer then I place the clothing first in a brown paper bag then a hanging garment bag.  It is not a very prestigious job, but it pays my mortgage and has good health benefits and retirement.  I do my job well and most people like me. I am a bit ashamed that I have a dead end job but this is all I am good for.

"the departments of corrections and labor\noperate a vocational development program open to\nall prisoners. Corrections officials in Montgomery\nCounty, Maryland, run a transitional facility where\ninmates can live during the last six months of their\nsentence and plan their return home. These two programs\nalone suggest the range of approaches government\ncan take to help people become ready for life\non the outside. And research is beginning to demonstrate\ntheir value: inmates involved in both programs\nhave been less likely to be reincarcerated than people\nwho did not receive services before release.2\nWhile there is much to discover about the effects\nof pre-release programs, enterprising officials in a\nhandful of states across the country continue to\nexperiment, convinced that common-sense services\nsuch as job training and development, help securing\npersonal identification, referrals to community\nhealth services, and family-focused counseling\nenable inmates to take better advantage of whatever\nsupport and supervision they receive in the\ncommunity or, in the absence of such services,\nnavigate better on their own.\nThis paper briefly describes their efforts—strategies\nthat could be modified to work in other jurisdictions.\nIt ends with specific suggestions for planning\npre-release services, including considerations of cost."\n\n"Baltimore County turns inmates into ‘Winning Fathers’\nBy Charles Taylor\nSenior Staff Writer\nWhen 27-year-old Karl got out of jail, it wasn’t a question of "if" but rather, "when" he would resume paying child support for his young daughter. "It’s 100 percent important," the Anne Arundel County, Md. resident said by phone recently.\n\nOne of the lucky ex-offenders, he had a job waiting for him but needed transportation to get to it. That’s where Baltimore County’s Winning Fathers program helped. A joint effort of the county’s Department of Social Services and Department of Corrections, the program provided Karl free bus tokens - one of the many services it offers. Able to get to work and with his income restored, he caught up on support payments to his ex-wife for their 2-year-old daughter, making a $5,500 payment a few months ago.\n\nPerhaps much more important than bus fare, Winning Fathers helps inmates find jobs while still incarcerated and provides them up to three months of support services after their release to help them stay employed and support their children.\n\nThe program expanded on an existing relationship between the county’s Social Services and Corrections departments. For more than 10 years, they had worked together to help Baltimore County Detention Center inmates transition back into the community. The departments collaborated on workshops in pre-release planning, anger management, parenting from afar and job readiness.\n\nWinning Fathers began in 2003, adding employment development and case management services - with the goal of increasing fathers’ roles in their children’s lives and encouraging non-custodial dads to pay their child support. It was funded with a $91,200 state grant from the Maryland Department of Human Resources.\n\n"What we know is that when men leave the detention center, employment is a very important piece to them being successful," said Marci Van De Mark, assistant director of Social Services. "The idea was, if we could try and identify employers who would hire men while they’re still incarcerated, that would give them a leg up in terms of being employed when they leave the detention center."\n\nThrough April 2006, the program had reached more than 900 men, helped 90 find jobs and funneled about $150,000 in child support payments to former inmates’ children, according Van De Mark. "We have 93 children who were not being supported by their dads - because their dads were unemployed or they were incarcerated - who are now being supported by their fathe

I would think so if you had to spend jail time--and a future employer wants to know your criminal background. I know it applies in New York.

Check with the state parole board.\n\nGenerally, the information is confidential, unless you are a prospective employer, and/or the parolee signs a waiver.\n\nWhat is your reason for wanting to contact the parole officer? Do you suspect that the parolee violated his parole, or commited a crime?

You can write to the inmates and ask them.  It really depends on their behavior as they can get out early if they follow directions.
