Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Open cases

I have 2 open domestic violence cases in Las Vegas. I also have a warrant in California for not showing up in court for a DUI case. I live in Florida now. I don't have any money to fly to these states and fly back. Is there any way I can do the time for those cases in Florida?

Re: Open cases

Sometimes a foreign state will allow you to do their time concurrent with a sentence in Florida, but you can't do time in Florida for a crime committed in another state if you're not doing time in Florida already.

In other words, Florida won't pay to house prisoners from other states.
