So it appears 18 months is max for currently for refusing to decrypt a drive, but it is under active court cases at the moment.
The important thing is that you are wrong, you can clearly be forced to surrender something you know.
Edit: The important part is not that you are wrong, but that the courts can put you in jail for refusing to disclose something you know.
