While general partners are responsible for the debts of a general partnership, the OP indicates they want an LLC which is not the same entity structure; no general partner in an LLC.
This is true BUT the OP implied that this incarcerated person was already a partner......he said "my business partner" and the impression is they might already have a partnership operating and are now thinking about starting an LLC. So this OP needs to get matters straightened out before his "partner" does something that can't be undone easily.
