My friend who is incarcerated said there is some financial aid available to inmates in Federal Prison upon release, and thought it was an agency called AngelFire. I have looked on the web and cannot seem to find anything. Whether it's AngelFire, or not, I am looking for any information on clothing, jobs, living arrangements, ,monthly $$ assistance, anything. He will be in the State of Nevada upon release but is currently in South Dakota.

The conviction was not a state or federal offense
The conviction occurred before you were 18 years of age and you were not tried as an adult
