The best aproach is for him to discuss the problem with his probation officer to see what his/her recommendation is. It seems unusual that he is on probation and not parole. The answer is different if he is on parole. After the meeting with probation, it would be best if he employs a criminal lawyer to approach the court probation officer, who will be a different person from the field probation officer, and discuss the modification of terms of probation. It is often possible to reduce the payments, possibly getting an early discharge from probation, arranging mail in reporting or no reporting or other changes. Without knowing what county you are in it is not possible to make specific recommendations. A local criminal attorney should be able to let you know what is possible with the judge who has control of the case.
