Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

My son is serving 3 years in a Minnesota prison. While he is there, does any of his time being served can it go towards his fines and or restitution for the crime committed? Also, is there such a law or rule in Minnesota that says whether he must pay his fines first and then restitution or even vice versa? Thank you.
