In Germany Ordnungshaft (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnungsmittel) is the measure for refusing to testify. It is strongly regulated and can't extend longer than 6 weeks without going to a higher court. Erzwingungshaft is incarceration for failure to pay fines or penalties. |

(1) Ordnungshaft is what you get if you fail to pay the fine (Ordnungsgeld) for refusing to testify.
(2) Erzwingungshaft is a separate thing, has nothing to do with a fine and can be up to half a year.
