That is for each count of contempt and each incident of said contempt, in theory every refusal is a new count. I had a trial in February with a witness who refused to answer any questions, each refusal was ruled a contempt and the Judge settled at 7.5 years total for all the refusals (judge later amended to 3 years, but it is on appeal at the moment). All that to say, it could be more severe but it is unlikely that any jail will result.
