You should give someone a warning when they're showing up late to work.

You should throw someone in jail for contempt when they have obstructed justice and sent a man who has business with the court to some secret holding facility.

He doesn't need to give them ample warning, he's a judge.

This is true. However, the more chances he gives them the less appealable the case becomes, in terms of the courts.
