Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman’s house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc

So before conviction, when you’re being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I’m wondering, what happens?

If you’re found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?

      And I assume that it may also vary from prison to prison, as prisons are privatised in the US?

        Not sure why you got down voted for that. But the prisons are privatized in the US. Not sure how that would affect phone or internet

        • They probably got down voted because it’s not correct to say the prisons are privatized. There are private prisons, but 90+% of prisoners are not in private prisons.
