> It's generally hard for trans people to find employment, period -- and I doubt she has meaningful job skills given her extended imprisonment.
She's a celebrity speaker with a large upper-middle-class fan base, so as long as their interest doesn't go somewhere else she’ll probably do okay.
Of course, if her opponents don't do their part to keep her in the news, the attention will wane.
> Also, I don't think it's legal to jail someone over unpaid debt
It's not. Though it's quite possible she could now be charged with criminal contempt and imprisoned for that.
She could also be jailed for refusing to pay her existing debt (but not for inability to pay.) But note that isn't always an easy line to draw, and a lot of time the latter is dressed up as the former, though with sufficient litigation (which someone has to fund) to challenge it, higher courts may reverse it.

She's also very not-ok (3 suicide attempts, including 1 last week) after what she's been through. Being trans is traumatizing enough in itself, and I can't imagine what it was like for her in a military prison. If I were her, I would want an extended period of time away from the limelight.
