Can’t get right. It’s now or never.

50yrs old. Just released from prison a few yrs back for armed bank robbery. No real skills outside of labor, no house, and financially illiterate when it comes to investing. I’m planning on getting life insurance then I’m lost. Where should 1 start with investing? This is all I got and I’m not planning on losing it or going back to prison. Any real help is appreciated. Please no messages I will not answer. Thanks for reading.
