Here is the legislation: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/49

Considering if up to 1 month in prison is a price worth paying for the truth?

In any case where a court has power to commit a person to prison for contempt of court and (apart from this provision) no limitation applies to the period of committal, the committal shall (without prejudice to the power of the court to order his earlier discharge) be for a fixed term, and that term shall not on any occasion exceed two years in the case of committal by a superior court, or one month in the case of committal by an inferior court.

Dark ages.
Get me out of here.
What a total bullshit.
Guilty until proven innocent.
I really wish I could tell what I really think.

The question remains - if I decide that truth is more important than freedom, if I decide that month in jail is manageable penalty - does it mean that I'm mentally ill?
