I think that you need to be very careful, if you're the person on probation.  Start by looking at your probation papers, the ones with conditions, to see if any contact or "association" with known felons -- which includes ex-offenders and those currently in custody -- is one of the things you're told you can't do.

It sounds dangerous to me, and I would give strong consideration to talking to a criminal defense lawyer in your area about this, before repeating or continuing this contact.  One place to find a qualified attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com

If you have not actually had any contact like this, but are thinking about it, you might also talk to your probation officer first.
