What will Life in Prison for Donald Trump be like?.....

I suspect that he will be in a jail for rich folks.... But he won't have his phone, or his makeup, or his hair products. He won't have any contact to the outside world, other than his lawyer. He won't have a special person that helps change his Depends when he loads himself... He won't have anyone around to get him Diet Cokes... His meals will not be KFC or McDonalds, it will be bland, prison food, made by the prisoners... He will be confined to a small cell with a few roommates, and a common toilet with no gold toilet seat.... And I am sure that after a few weeks of hearing Donalds story's over and over and over again, they will request a transferee to another cell, or worse, give him a blanket party... (those in the military know this term) The only TV he will be able to watch is the one in a commons room... Life in prison will not be good for Donald because no one is going to wait on him like his life now...... Now, I think he should do his time, But as they say, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime....

They could put him up at the Ritz if they'll deny him media access. Torture for him and relief for us.

5. He could wind up in a"club fed" prison for white collar criminals, like where Martha Stewart was.

That's if he's lucky.

Or he could wind up in Georgia's notorious hellhole.

My bet's on Club Fed, which is accustomed to handling high-profile prisoners like lawyers, stockbrokers, etc.

…it’s highly unlikely he’d be sent to a standard prison, as he would need constant Secret Service protection. Most likely, he’d be sent to some sort of small house on a secured military base. As long as he didn’t have social media access, I’m sure he would consider it “cruel and unusual punishment.”

8. I expect he would be incarcerated in a minimum security prison,

commonly called “federal prison camps."

Of course, there would be modifications made to the facility, such as the addition of a golf course, a television studio so he could continue to issue edicts to his followers, and lots of times when he can leave the facility for fund raising. You know, just continue treating him no different than anyone else, like they've been doing.

they will clear out all the club members. Then he’ll play golf all day every day and have his telephone too.

but really I will not be surprised if he doesn't get off. Everyone knows in this country you are innocent until proven to be broke.

Trump will definitely not go to some hard core prison.
