Contempt of court is an offence. What happens in between someone committing an offence and them being thrown in jail? They go on trial. This makes them a defendant. Of course they're put in jail. The judge doesn't throw them in there though. The police officers in attendance do that.
You bastard and your semantics. Okay, the judge tells the police officers to throw him in jail.

And since Proto and Jebus are both (I think) American, we should go with someone who knows the much more sane, much better American legal system.
