Sec. 25-63 incarceration as a possible result of the proceed- ing and makes a statement to that effect on the record. (b) The person shall be further advised that no person shall continue to be detained in a correc- tional facility pursuant to an order of civil contempt for longer than thirty days, unless at the expiration of such thirty days he or she is presented to the judicial authority. On each such presentment, the contemnor shall be given an opportunity to purge himself or herself of the contempt by compliance with the order of the judicial authority. If the con- temnor does not so act, the judicial authority may direct that the contemnor remain in custody under the terms of the order of the judicial authority then in effect, or may modify the order if the interests of justice so dictate. (c) Any attorney appointed to represent the con- temnor shall represent such contemnor only on the contempt, and shall not be appointed for any other purpose. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 484A.)
