John,
I must applaud that you took the time to better yourself while incarcerated...welding and maintenance are jobs that cannot be replaced by computers! Have you considered utilizing any prison release programs? Also, check with Goodwill, they do great work for the community. I found the following link that may help you: http://jobsthathirefelons.org/
All the best...
