The main question I have is when were you sentenced and did you tell the judge that you have a medical condition which prevents you from doing manual labor. Find an attorney to file a motion to have your sentenced modified due to your medical condition. But be aware that you may have to do jail time in lieu of your labor program.

It's up to a judge to decide how much a day in jail will count towards a fine. There is no set rule for it.

30 bucks, but remember that is 30 bucks of the base fine which, if added with penalty assessments, can easily top $150.

Have your lawyer put it on calendar and let him explain this to the judge. They often have sedentary type jobs like office work which you could do.

$30. This way it doesn't count penalty assessments.

Go back to court. Your work may be set off until after you recover. Also, you can get up to $100.00 per day off for additional jail. There are some fines and fees which cannot be reduced or satisfied by jail.

Whatever the judge sets the rate at. Check with the Sheriff's office. You'll have to return to court on a motion to get the court ordered service changed.
