I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
First I ever heard of it. Virtually all inmates parole. They are required by law to return to their county of commitment and check in with their parole agent within 24 hours. You are no more or less likely to meet a former inmate if you live two miles from the prison that in you live 50 miles away. Sounds bogus to me.

Depends how blatant the offense is and how forgiving you are feeling. Occasional acting out is just an expression of anger or frustration and is not necessarily personal. If they get really nasty, or become repeat offenders, or are clearly showing off for the homies you then have to do something.

As far as I know there are not hard restricitons about ink, though clearly if you have things that look like gang tattoos or strong non-standard political statements you will have a problem. If you have a lot of ink you may want to wear a lot of long-sleeved shirts.

First sign is he wants you to marry him just before he goes away. He will then very probably try to guilt trip you for not sending him enough money, not coming to visit him enough, not sending you nude photos of yourself, try to ensure you accept lots of very expensive collect calls from him, etc. He may try to get you to get your girl friends to do likewise for his buddies, who are just poor, lonely misunderstood people. If he has an EXTENSIVE record and is still doing crime, he will almost certainly continue to do so until he dies or is too old to continue. If you want to retain any level of self esteem you should walk away, politely but FIRMLY.

That isn't really my end of the business. Even if the Texas cops decide to go after him, which they might not, California may not pay to extradite him back to CA. CA will enter a warrant into the system on him. If he comes into contact with the cops after that they will arrest him. What happens depends a lot of what he was actually convicted of. Sorry I could not help more. It is completely possible that nothing will happen. It is also compltely possible they will ship him back to CA as an absconder.

Inmates are very good at guilt-tripping family members to send them money, or to send money to a third party on some pretext, such as for "protection" or for jailhouse lawyer legal help. Also inmates can buy stuff from the canteen and they need money for that so it is reasonable for them to ask. If they can get 3 or 4 people to send them money they can get a fair income, then send that out to third parties to pay for drugs. It isn't that hard. Inmates are not, for the most part, stupid and they have lots of time on their hands to come up with ideas.

I don't know the law in Florida that well. In CA (which I suspect is strongly similar) he would have to report the relationship only if you are under supervision, i.e. parole or probation. Failure to report the relationship is the problem, not the relationship itself. Also there is an issue with firearms, if he has any issued to him there are probably requirements about storage. He can not leave an unattended, unlocked firearm around you, or possibly ammunition is an issue too. YOu might want to spend a couple of bucks on a Florida attorney that specializes in legal matters like that, ESPECIALLY if you are still under supervision.
