if you have the ability to do an act required under a judgment then you can be held in civil contempt and actually jailed, however if it is strictly a monetary judgment then you cannot be incarcerated, but your wages can be garnished and your assets seized by the judgment holder.

Can you go to jail for not paying a civil suit?

As a general rule, no, it is not. Generally speaking, no tort case, that an individual brings against another individual, can result in the loss of liberty - however, if an individual is in violation of a court order arising out of that civil case, it is possible the individual could be jailed for civil contempt for failure to obey the COURT'S order.
