The person remains in custody once arrested until one of the following occurs: · the money owed is paid. · the jail term is served. · the person is otherwise released.

When a person is taken into custody under this commitment order, the person may request and is entitled to a prompt hearing before the court to provide an opportunity to explain the failure to pay.
