A magistrates court is the first court before which a person appears when charged with an offence. Depending upon the seriousness of the charge, the case may be dealt with there or be committed to the Crown Court for trial. The sentencing powers of magistrates are limited (six months per offence), although there is the possibility of imposing consecutive sentences for a series of offences for a total length of no more than twelve months. Whether or not a person summoned to attend a magistrates' court could face a prison sentence depends on the nature of the offence and the sentencing options. The vast majority of people answering charges before magistrates do not go to prison, especially for a first offence, so the answer to your question is yes, it is a serious matter and one to be concerned about, but no, prison is not very likely.

Nah...I've been stripped off by the beaks though.
The apology for contempt of court is usually extra time or being taken down to the cells.

Absolutely not, but a nod and a wink should be apology enough.
