So, lets start with this from Cornell’s Law School

Criminal contempt of court refers to disobedience of an order of the court which carries criminal penalties. Common examples of conduct which may result in criminal contempt of court charges include insulting the judge or creating a disturbance at trial . Penalties for criminal contempt include fines and potential jail time.

Now lets look at the Bail Conditions in GA

Bail and Bond Conditions:

Bailed-out suspects commonly must comply with "conditions of release." If a defendant violates a condition of the bond, a judge may revoke bail and order the suspect re-arrested and returned to jail. Some bail conditions, such as a requirement that a suspect "obey all laws," are common. Other conditions may reflect the crime for which a suspect was arrested. For example, a condition may order a domestic violence suspect not to contact the complaining witness.

If bail conditions are violated, the bond can be revoked. That means a person can be held in jail until the case is over. Additionally, in cases of domestic violence, if a person violates a "no contact" provision in a bond, that person will also be charged with aggravated Stalking.
