Yes, in most cases the jail time you serve for fines is in lieu of payment. HOWEVER - this does not apply in the case of court ordered judgments.

#2 answ: It depends on what your final judgment was. Most of the time, the judge, or sometimes the local laws, determine the amount of money that you will paid toward your fines for everyday you spend in jail (as mentioned above). You may also have additional fines, such as court expenses that are not applied to time served and you will be responsible for those after being released.

What does Stay due date mean in criminal court?

When a court imposes a fine, it often will allow the fine and costs to be paid on a later date by granting a "stay to pay." If so, the fine and costs may be paid anytime before, or on, the stay date the same way all other fines are paid. If the amount due is not paid and the defendant does not appear in court on the stay date, the judge can be expected to issue a CAPIAS requiring the arrest and incarceration of the defendant until the fine is paid or "served" in jail at the rate of $30 per day. If you have a CAPIAS outstanding solely because you failed to pay a fine, you can have the CAPIAS canceled by paying the fine the same way all other fines are paid. If you chose not to pay the fine, you should expect to be arrested and incarcerated until the fine is paid, or the jail time is done.
