Capias pro fine

Capias pro fine are writs or warrants issued after the defendant defaults on an agreement with the court.

The writ is considered outstanding until paid in full. The recipient usually must remain in jail until fees and/or costs have been satisfied by time served or the fees and/or costs have been paid in full.
