Your husband should consult privately with a lawyer. Speaking generally, contempt of court is a different type of proceeding with it's own unique set of rules. Technically, he may still have been on bond on the original charge while serving his time for the contempt matter. Further, if he had his bond revoked, that might be an issue in terms of his time as well. Your Husband should ask his attorney or request an appeal, however, if they got his sentence wrong.
