More details to this question:
They came to his job and another family members house to possibly detain him, yet told the family member that they previously weren't but because he ran away they can put him back in jail. How can we keep him out of jail? Is a change of address a valid reason to chase him?

I don't know the terms and condition of his parole or probation. Generally, you must inform the PO of a change of address. If you do not it is considered a technical violation and could possibly result in a short jail sentence. He made matters worse by running. The only thing he can do is turn himself in, take the hit and do the time, and don't do anything stupid again. As least not while on parole.
