A quick definition of writ of capias ad satisfaciendum:

A writ of capias ad satisfaciendum is a legal document that orders a law enforcement officer to arrest a person who has been ordered by a court to pay a debt or fine. The person will be held in custody until they pay the debt or fine. This type of writ is often used in cases where a person has failed to appear in court or has not paid child support. It is an important tool for enforcing court orders and ensuring that people fulfill their legal obligations.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of capias ad satisfaciendum is a legal document that orders a law enforcement officer to arrest a person who has been found guilty of a crime or owes a debt and imprison them until they satisfy the judgment against them.

For example, if someone is ordered by a court to pay child support but fails to do so, a writ of capias ad satisfaciendum may be issued to have them arrested and held in jail until they pay the owed amount.

This writ was commonly used in the past to enforce judgments against debtors who refused to pay their debts. It was also used in criminal cases to ensure that defendants appeared in court to face their charges.
