I was recently incarcerated at Monroe Correctional Complex in Monroe, Washington. I have heard there is federal grant monies available to felons desiring to start their own business. I would like to start a construction business. Please let me know how I could go about acccessing the funding to do so. :)

Unless your state has some, there is no specific grants for felons, in fact if you were convicted of certain crims such as drugs you will be disqualifed from many grants other felons can get.
