On the contrary, if someone loses a civil suit that ends up with an

Why Sam Khuri didn't get hit with a contempt citation and jailed for
spamming again is a complete mystery to me.  Well, no it isn't, the
requisite DA didn't think it worth the effort.

In a way thats true but the contempt of court is still a separate charge which 
must be
pursued and is still largely civil in nature as the plaintiff must start the
proceedings.

Depending on circumstances, the judge is the plaintiff.
