Maybe get him some stuff about how to do bodywork, painting, or fabrication? Those are kind of general skills that there might be more books/mags about and would be GREAT to know. It's also something that the average gearhead bike dude ends up sending out, so could be something that he could use to make cash on the side when he springs free.
Here's to your pal doing his time safely, learning stuff, and emerging a better man. My heart goes out to you for having to deal with your friend's missteps...and for you supporting him during this.
