In some places, yes. In the US, some states expressly forbid jailing people for their debts, but others do not, and even those that prohibit it generally allow it in the case of unpaid child support (failure to pay child support is usually a crime in its own right, so technically they're jailed for that rather than for the debt per se).
Even in places where it's technically allowed, whether it's actually done or not may vary according to the whim of local officials.
