> His crime is disobeying a court order, which is a crime that you can go to jail for.

Sure, but isn't the question whether he should go to jail indefinitely? If defying a court order is a crime, then perhaps it should have a well defined jail term.



It does, the term is "until you comply".


That's not what well-defined means. You might as well say we should jail people until their victims feel better.

Furthermore, there's no evidence demonstrating he actually can comply.
