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.
