Have you contacted https://www.nextchapterproject.org/?

They do training and placements aimed at getting formerly incarcerated people into tech roles. I don't know if they work with folks like you with experience already but I'd say it's worth a try.

I used to work at Slack, which founded this program.

Slack had a great talk about this project at their conference back in 2019 I believe. They really seemed committed to being a change agent in this area which struck me as awesome.
