The court clerk told you you'd be thrown in jail ??? Geez... You can't be thrown in jail for a bounced check unless you did it with fraudulent intentions - which they'd have to prove in court - INTENT. Lots of people bounce checks at some time, if we all ended up in jail for it there'd be no room for the REAL criminals !!! Yes, you can just pay the amount, but its likely to be a LOT more now than $7. In some state they can get you for triple the amount (wow..$22) plus fines. What's your state ? What does the summons say you have to pay ??
