§ 31-36. Collection of unpaid fines or imprisonment for failure to pay fine.

(a)

If a defendant who is financially able refuses or neglects to pay a fine or cost, or both, payment may be enforced by imprisonment until the same shall be satisfied at the rate of $25.00 per day or in the same manner as is prescribed in subsection (b) of this section for a defendant who is without means to make such payment.

(b)

If the defendant is without means to pay the fine or cost, the municipal judge may direct the total amount due to be entered upon the court minutes and to be certified to the district court where it shall be entered upon the district court judgment docket and shall have the full force and effect of a district court judgment. Thereupon, the same remedies shall be available for the enforcement of the judgment as are available to any other judgment creditor.
