To find out how, if at all, inmates can manage their money from jail or prison, LowestRates.ca distributed a survey to a small sample of clients at JHS Toronto.   Respondents’ answers were telling: many had no chance to notify their bank or any other creditors that they were being or had been taken into custody, which caused their accounts to fall into arrears. Many were unable to manage their money while in custody; and, upon release, faced financial obstacles like not being able to get approved for credit.
