In Pennsylvania, failure to pay truancy fines can lead to potential jail time, but it is typically a last resort. Adults who are fined for their child's truancy may face contempt of court charges if they do not pay, potentially resulting in up to 90 days in jail. However, actual incarceration is not common for unpaid truancy fines, and courts often explore alternatives or payment plans instead.
