An convicted inmate who committed a felony and is incarcerated is not eligible for citizenship because he lacks a good moral character. In addition, he might be deportable/removable from the USA. You need to consult an immigration attorney and discuss his conviction and possible legal ramifications. From immigration point of view, it could be potentially very serious situation.

On the other note, application for naturalization (citizenship) is an individual application, and you can't apply for an inmate. He has to apply by himself.
