The US does not have debtors prisons. What will happen is that these guys will harass you for the money. There are laws that say how debt collectors can treat people they are trying to recover money from however, the payday loan people are known for ignoring those laws or for finding ways around them.

They have been banned in some states and other states have limited them. Here is a site that gives some of the states and what the rules are for payday lending or small loans. http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/debt/debtcreditguide/payday-chart1.asp You can’t go to jail in the US for debt unless there is fraud involved somehow.
