I know they are dealing with abandonment issues/possible depression so I want to try and be there for them but I was also not on the best terms with them leading up to this so I'm not sure if seeing me would just make it worse.
Don't have any friends who have had any situations like this so not really sure where to look for advice.
White collar crime, not anything violent

I've had one, but it was probably almost 2 decades ago when it happened. He was young and did stupid shit (hate using that excuse but it is what it is), but he has changed since then - almost regional manager of a rather large retail chain. I remember visiting him in jail when I was around 5 or 6. Have a lot of respect for him since he helped guide me to where I am now. Guess he didn't want me to get nowhere near the same path he did.
As others have said before me, follow whichever direction your heart takes you. I will say that you keeping in contact
may help them with their abandonment issues and
may help turn things around.
