Were there pre-paid indulgences for future sins and is this still practiced?

Indulgences are not forgiveness for future sins. They are a lessening of punishment in Purgatory for sins already forgiven. Indulgences are gained by certain spiritual and corporal works of devotion but paying for indulgences ended with the Council of Trent.

Do sinners still pay for indulgences?
Indulgences were never bought or sold. An indulgence is a remission of the temporal punishment due to sin given by the Church for good works. These can be obtained for oneself or for the souls in purgatory. The idea of buying and selling indulgences comes from the abuse of alms indulgences. Giving alms is a work of piety that is well looked upon in the Bible, so there was an indulgence for giving money for the poor or for certain religious purposes (like building a house of worship). These were abused in such a way as to create the impression among some people that one could pay away the temporal punishment due to sin. This was an illegitimate use of indulgences and in fact was a form of the sin of simony, so to stop this abuse the Church discontinued alms indulgences. In short, then, Catholics still do obtain indulgences. These indulgences, however, are not the discontinued alms indulgences but others of a different nature: indulgences for pilgrimages, group prayer, reading the Bible etc.
