Question: how long do you go to jail for paying off fines?
Answer: 1 day of jail will wipe out every $30 in the base fine. For example, most convicted of DUI are sentenced to pay "$390 plus penalty assessments", which basically adds up to about $1,600.00. You can wipe the $1,600.00 out entirely with 13 days in jail, because $390 divided by $30 equals 13.
