Would a former president get Secret Service protection in prison? KING 5 Verify

https://www.king5.com/article/news/verify/government-verify/would-former-president-trump-get-secret-service-protection-prison-fact-check/536-d107b53f-9f7d-4a88-a721-9463e6a5e3c8

From the article…

THE QUESTION

Would a former president receive Secret Service protection in prison?
THE SOURCES

The Secret Service
18 U.S. Code § 3056
Bradley Moss, a lawyer specializing in national security
Sonny Smith, Ph.D., former special agent in the Secret Service and lecturer at Texas A&M University’s Busch School of Government and Public Service
Ronald Kessler, journalist and author of books about the White House, Secret Service, FBI and CIA
THE ANSWER

This is inconclusive.
Federal law doesn’t specify whether a former president would receive Secret Service protection in prison, and no historical precedent exists.

End snipped article


————
Article goes on to state that it is unlikely that a former president would do time at all.
If not pardoned, then most likely the person would be confined to home arrest.

I, for one, am going to stop wasting my time and energy on this fuckstick POS. The court cases will all be circuses with history’s worst (demented) clown in the 3 ring world stage.

Death will be my only wound salve.

Trump needs to be protected in prison, therefore solitary confinement is the only answer.
