Chelsea Manning has been jailed for refusing to testify at a grand jury about her whistleblowing

Contempt of court is generally like that, however this one also ends six months after the grand jury does, and grand juries have a limited life, I think about a year plus a single six month extension for a federal grand jury. So in theory this is a max of two years minus however long that grand jury has existed already. Then again I’m not a lawyer (or even paralegal) so I could be incorrect.
