It would depend on whether or not he qualifies for voluntary departure. I suggest that you at least consult with an attorney to see if he qualifies and to see if there is a way for him to remain in the U.S., if he is interested.

While I understand the stress of incarceration, trust me, one way or the other, he will eventually be released. How and under what terms he gets released will determine if he has a future in this country. He needs an experienced attorney to fully advise him of his options. He may or may never be able to ever set foot into the US again if he does not properly address this matter

No. He does not need an attorney to request voluntary departure. However, he may need the advice of an attorney first to fully understand his rights and obligations in immigration court.

He does not need to have an attorney, but it would be good if he had one to make sure he is making the right decision.
