No, supposedly it is unconstitutional to jail anyone for a debt in the United States. You go to jail for contempt of court, meaning you did not appear for a hearing, or provided a satisfactory explanation for why you could not obey an order of the court. In essence, it comes down to the interpretation of the judge as to whether your efforts to follow the order of the court is valid. If they would do this on all debt, that end up going to court for collections, perhaps we would have less people in debt. They would not be going to debtors prison, just simply being jailed for not obeying an order of the court. It just happens to address a debt.
