He was run over by an officer and injured his left leg. It has ended his career. He filed a civil lawsuit but since he was incarcerated, it was dismissed without prejudice. I want to know how I can help him since he is incarcerated again?

you need to find a lawyer who would agree to represent him on a contingency basis. Also you need to let the lawyer know the reasons the lawsuit was dismissed first time.
