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?

    There’s no law in the US stopping you from paying from jail either. If you have the money.

      Yeah there’s no law preventing it but you wouldn’t have the ability to write a check or to send money by Zelle, as an example. You would need someone outside the jail to make those payments on your behalf.

      Edit: I wonder why people are downvoting me. When someone is arrested and put in jail they just can’t do normal things. Maybe some people eventually get computer access in prison but realistically you couldn’t depend on it
