If the action that broke the contract is against the law then the breaching of contract isn't what's putting you jail, whatever law you broke is. I always that breaching of contract would result in damages in the form of money or services.
If I hire you to mow my lawn and we both sign a contract, and you break that contract by not mowing my lawn. That breach of contract would result in money or services not jail. Or, if you break the contract by not mowing my lawn and stealing my lawn mower in the process then you would go to jail. Not for breach of contract but for theft.
But if you have an example then I'll concede.
