A while back I actually looked into this question.

Former presidents are afforded several things by law, including a salary, a stipend for an assistant, and office space rental, and, of course, Secret Service protection for their lifetime.

However, the protection provided by the USSS is described as a duty to protect the (former) President. It doesn’t describe, what that looks like, how many agents are involved, or so on. It does allocate, though, up to $1,000,000 every fiscal year to provide that protection.

Hypothetically, if Trump were convicted and the punishment included imprisonment, more likely than not, the USSS would simply arrange for the individual to be isolated from any threats inside the prison and hand custody over to the prison. This might look like a member of the USSS being stations at the prison, essentially, as a guard, supervisor, monitor, etc.

I suspect the realistic scenario would look like the individual being put in an isolated wing or some sort of maximum-security facility, and the USSS checking in on a weekly or even daily schedule, and, in exchange, the prison would be allocated some portion of that annual $1,000,000.

Just get one of those cages he used for the Mexican kids and put it right in the secret service office. Boom, problem solved. They don’t even have to leave their desks.

You don’t. You throw his ass into solitary confinement since he can’t be in gen-pop, just like you would any other high-profile prisoner.

ADX Florence was built for exactly this kind of situation.

Would be a dogshit posting for his detail, but Secret Service is Trumpland anyway so I assume he’ll still have lackeys lining up to get the spot.

Just regular prison guards would do

He’s an old white dude with millions of dollars. He will go to “Club Fed” or more likely some kind of house arrest or probation. Honestly you don’t want him in a real badass prison because that makes him a martyr. If he’s just convicted and ignored that’s a worse punishment as he’ll slide into obscurity.

Who cares? They can do time with him if they want I guess.

House arrest with no internet or phone.

I feel like the whole “the jaws of justice are slowly closing around trump” comment is the narrative version of that looping gif of the truck almost running into the bollard. Academically, I agree with you. But I’m pretty sure the dude is going to be dead from one of the innumerable heath issues he faces before he sees any real consequence. Time will tell I guess, but like others, I’m not holding my breath. If there were any real justice in the world, trump would have died from Covid. That would have at least been poetic justice for his role in that colossal tragedy.

And allowing witnesses to be intimidated is like allowing trump to have a Javelin in your tank analogy. For the cases to be prosecuted correctly, the necessary witnesses need to give their testimony without fear of retaliation. He needs to be put into pre-trail detainment.
