She has been ordered by the court to do so. She refused, so she was sentenced to jail.

I am unsure if Miller has that much to add or is she is truly standing on principle - though I do not agree with her, she is a respected journalist So, it is difficult to tell with her and she certainly has nothing to gain by going to jail. But, who knows, maybe she is W's "Susan McDougal" For the life of me, I will never understand how these men can let anyone suffer for them much less a woman. Cowards!!
