  If the court asks you to provide it and you don’t, you can go in jail pretty much indefinitely under contempt of court.

      Sure thing.

      Under Rule 37 of the FRCP, a deponent’s failure to answer can also be treated as contempt of court. Direct contempt of court is punishable without trial.
