Does anyone know of a sevice that provides transportation out of California for recently released prisoners?|100145

My husband went to California to help his dad and got caught up in a 10 year old warrant and had to do 90 days. Now released he has nowhere to stay and no money to get back home(Michigan). Even hitching a ride with some one headed this way would be a plus.

See if there_s a Community Action Agency in the town where your husband is. They often have _emergency funds_ for helping people get home, whether it_s enough to buy a spare tire for folks caught on the road with no spare and a flat that can_t be repaired, or a bus ticket to get folks home when there_s no other way.

The Community Action Agency is nation-wide and while they don_t have much in the way of emergency funds, they do have a small amount of money for that sort of thing. Plus they usually know other agencies in the community that have services available.

I_m thinking the Catholic Church_s St. Vincent de Paul organization might be able to help, too.

i don_t mean to sound unsympathetic, but send him some money for a bus ticket. Why should the tax payers of California provide transportation for him? He probably knew he had a warrant, and he obviously did something _illegal_ to have the police show interest in him.

Forget about trying to get a ride with _truck drivers_. Most trucking companies prohibit their drivers from having any passengers in the truck. It_s that _insurance_ thing.

well he can do 1 of to things,greyhound bus is really cheap out there,or a train,if thats not an option,go to the nearest truck stop and catch a ride with a truck driver,we driver tend to go to michigan alot,good luck,iv been there. and done that.

Do you not have any money to fly him home? Can his Dad help him out a little? I mean, your husband went out there to help HIM in the first place, that_s sort of jacked up if he can_t stay with his dad for a few days. Greyhound is pretty cheap, I have no idea what their rates are though. Otherwise I guess he_d have to hitchhike w/ truckers, and hope that one of them is on his way to Michigan.. Sorry to hear about your sitch...
