There is no debtor's prison in the U.S. You need to go to court and explain why you cannot pay the money.
Re: Please Help!Violation of probation
You must appear in court. If I were your attorney, I would contact the probation officer assigned to the court. I would tell them your financial circumstances and ask for a waiver of the payments and/or a payment plan that you are able to meet. I would note that you have worked hard to complete your probation and this shows your good faith. I would point to your efforts to earn money and show that it is not as if you have been shirking your responsibility.
