Rehabilitation may be one of several goals, but others include: society's need to separate criminals from other potential victims, and to punish the person for doing the crime, which is intended to discourage the person and others from committing like crimes.

If offenders do not pay their fines immediately at the sentencing hearing are they sent to jail until they pay?

At sentencing you are given the conditions of the sentence. If you do not abide by the court ordered conditions, you can be jailed for contempt of court. Failing to perform the conditions of the sentence would open you up to incarceration. No person will be put in jail simply because of an inability to pay the fines on the sentencing date. That would be like having a 'debtor's prison.' Most courts will make arrangements for installment payments on larger fines. Indigent people will never be put in jail for contempt of court for not paying a fine unless they refuse to be gainfully employed.
