A: I can tell you that if you were on probation, they would terminate you from probation and send the outstanding fines to supervised collections. If you literally maxed out the entire 5 years then they would likely just convert the fine into a judgement, but if you still had some "time" left on the max sentence they would set collection hearings where they would essentially try to get as much money out of you as they can and then issue a bench warrant if you fail to appear for any hearing. They can even seize any bail you posted and put it towards the unpaid fines. If you failed to pay your fines on parole but made a good faith effort they cannot simply violate you solely due to unpaid fines. They may follow the same process described above though.
