I'm a student at a university that has a program to tutor local prisoners to pass their GED exams. One of the students I have been working with will be getting out in a few months after nearly 10 years in prison, and has asked for some advice on what to do when he gets out financially speaking. They were arrested when they were 18 and are currently 27 with minimal savings. He has a job lined up with the state DOT for when he is released. I've given him some basic advice like opening a bank account not overusing credit cards, taking the max matching on his 401k, etc. but I don't really know what else to say. I was hoping to compile a list of valuable information and to make a sort of checklist on what he should do upon release. He has no dependents.
