    Depending on the rico charges, he could also be in jail. He’d probably get the same conditions as Epstein did when he was sent to jail the first time (not the last one), but still.

      Trump will never be put in general population, his Secret Service detail will not allow him to be anywhere they can’t maintain control.

      Trump is going to end his days on house arrest in a shitty military barracks with no internet connection. Same if he’s actually jailed for contempt. There is already precedence for this w/ Nixon’s lawyer.

        I honestly don’t know if you’re correct or not, I don’t think this has been tested before since he’s a former president.

        I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. You’re right, he won’t be put in the general population. Even if we don’t care about actually protecting him, we, as a country, do have an interest in protecting the secrets that he knows. Even if he rarely read and barely listened, he still managed to pick up some of our most sensitive secrets and we don’t want those getting out.

        If he’s convicted, he’s going to be on some form of house arrest, not to protect him but to protect everyone else.
