I have two tickets which I have a payment plan for. I am behind on the payments and if I end up having to serve jail time because of this, how does it work? Do you pay to be in jail while there? And how do you pay off the ticket while in jail? I know about Huber, but my boyfriend insists that $50 is deducted each day you are in there and that you don't incure costs for daily living expenses while in jail. Can someone please answer these questions?

There's no such thing as debtor's prison anymore. You'll just keep getting more and more late fines until you pay it off. In the meantime, stop getting tickets, especially if you can't afford to pay for them.

This happened to my brother. He was arrested for unpaid tickets. He sat in jail all weekend and got out. Didn't pay anything because his time in jail was used towards the amount he owed on the tickets. Time served.

That's up to the Judge in these cases. If you have a job you may want to see about reporting to jail on your days off. Sometimes the judge can be lenient and give you an extension if you start showing some payments now.

While in jail you can still pay the fine minus the amount of the days that you serve while in prison.

It is not legal to be put into jail for nonpayment. That is debtors prison and it was abolished years ago. You would be going to jail for disobeying a court order.

Your boyfriend is right, but, if you had been a responsible person and paid them off, you would not have to be worried about going to jail.
