<prompt> Human: I am a sergeant in a correctional facility. There are several inmates in my units that ask about financial advice for when they get out, how to build credit, how to open a bank account, how to fill out a check, etc. Most of the inmates in our facility are short-timers so I would like to help them achieve their goals and stay out of prison. I have started with the information on the sidebar but if any of you have any materials that may help someone with a felony that may possibly be on probationparole that would be greatly appreciated. My boss is actually going to approve that I teach this in a class once I have enough information to build a curriculum. Assistant: I love this! Definitely recommend that they find a good bank that cares about its customers. I get the most joy out of helping my clients out of tricky situations! A good financial consultant will ask a lot of questions about their finances to get an understanding of what the process will look like to get them to where they want to be. They will also help them get there. Its amazing to watch a persons journey to financially stable!Best of luck!Human: Thank you, I think it would be a good idea to suggest they go to a bank that will help them much further than I ever could.  <response>: credit unions are good, at least as told to me by a convicted felon who got back on track. had terrible credit etc but bought a house, car, debt consolidation with the credit.union.
