Re: bad checks

You are going to have to deal with them. Contact the courts where the checks are being turned in, so that they are aware you are confined. They will find out when you are set for release, and instead are detained on the various warrants. If you notify the courts, the warrants will be recalled and you will save money in the long run.

If you can get someone to pay the checks for you, it would help. Otherwise, you need court-appointed counsel to consolidate all of the checks into one charge to resolve.
