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?

      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.
