When I had a Nova registered I was able to by pass all of the fees by having the previous owner sign a form saying the vehicle was non-op for the years that is was not registered. Being in your situation, not sure if he would sign it in jail. But worth a try. I was down in San D. and it was about 4 years ago, not sure what the name of the form was, but they should know.
