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?

People who spend 2 years on the ISS are generally very well paid for it. They're not going to have any trouble covering their mortgage.

That is entirely different from having your ability to earn a living taken away by the state even while legally presumed innocent.
