Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested outside Leeds Crown Court on Friday after broadcasting himself on Facebook Live.
The former EDL founder pleaded guilty to committing contempt of court and was jailed by judge Geoffrey Marson QC.
Robinson was already on a suspended sentence for a previous contempt offence in Canterbury last year.
He will now spend time at her majesty’s pleasure in Hull prison, which has housed inmates such as Ian Brady and Charles Bronson.
One ex-con described 24 hours in the prison – and reported hearing inmates screaming.
He told Hull Daily Mail: “When you are new to prison you just feel left in the lurch. Prison officers don’t really help you and it is a very scary time.
“You hear other prisoners shouting and screaming. It can be very intimidating when you are new.
“You cannot write to your family for the first week and a half.
“When you arrive you receive either a smoker’s pack or a sweet pack. If you don’t have any money you need to make the smoker’s pack last for two weeks.
“Tobacco is currency in jail along with drugs and mobile phones.”
Supporters of the controversial personality fear a price has been put on his head behind bars.
Writing on Twitter, Keeny Hawks warned: “Please sign this petition and help Tommy Robinson.
“His life is in grave danger in Hull Prison.”
