Nice name...to be honest I don't know. I would imagine that you would have to arrange something with whatever companies you owe money to. It's not like you can work to pay them off. Maybe they are frozen and you have to pay them when you are released from jail.

The statute of limitations holds you liable for 4 years and 7 if you get sued for non-payment. However, most collection agencies will write -off the bill if they confirm that you will be incarcerated for a long time. If you are married they will try to collect from the spouse who is also responsible. The agency can sue to prolong the statute of limitations or to collect from a spouse if there are any assets.

Quite often in Mental Health Institutions, detained clients will have debts written off. Bill's such as rent and mortgage are paid for up to a year depending on circumstances.

the person going to prison is still responsible for their debts. If they have a spouse or co-signer, that person would also be responsible.

well, if you mean the food and water and electricity that you use in prison... tax payers. Outside of prison, you could probably get a relative to take care of it.

If you're the only one on the account, you are the only one responsible.
If it's a joint account, then the other person is responsible.
