contempt to release her. More recently, Supreme Court ruling defining limits of civil contempt (UMW vs. JOHN L. BAGWELL) may have an effect on this.)

I know a guy in SF who won the Irish Sweepstakes and refused to repatriate his winnings. Did 2 years for tax evasion and two years for contempt (I think). Contempt was for his refusal to repatriate. Do you know what sort of restrictions the Supremes put on contempt jailings? I always figured that you should shower the judge and other judges in these cases with letters stating in great detail why you will never purge yourself of your contempt. Serves as evidence that holding you is useless and hence illegal punishment not a "legal" attempt to coerce you. DCF "But your honor, I'm desperately trying to *conceal* my contempt for this court!"
