## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that trial court’s imposition of a mandatory jail sentence as a sanction for contempt indicated that the proceedings and underlying order were criminal in nature

## Opinion text

*262 WIEAND, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the decision to reverse. In my judgment, however, the contempt was civil in nature; and the trial court’s error was in failing to include in its order the conditions which, when fulfilled, would enable the appellant to purge herself of contempt and be released from prison.
