DIAMANTIS, Judge.
B.P. petitions for a writ of habeas corpus, contending that he can not be punished for indirect criminal contempt by incarceration in the juvenile detention center for his failure to comply with a court order. B.P. argues that section 39.043(1) of the Florida Statutes (1990) prohibits the use of a secure detention facility as a sanction for contempt, relying upon T.D.L. v. Chinault, 570 So. 2d 1335" date_filed="1990-07-11" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." case_name="TDL v. Chinault">570 So. 2d 1335 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). We reject this argument and deny the petition for writ of habeas corpus. See A.A. v. Rolle, 580 So. 2d 282" date_filed="1991-05-17" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." case_name="AA v.
