My friend was indicted for 6 counts of forgery can she call and set up a court date before turning herself in?

She is pregnant and now lives several states away. She doesn't want this to stay on her record and wants to get it resolved quickly. But she's worried that she might get sentenced to jail time and none the less wants to spend any time in jail while awaiting trial or after her sentencing. Plus, being that she lives a few states away she'd be on a time schedule. What can she do?
