It's clear that when Tump is convicted he cant be put in prison with the general inmate population

[Xipe Totec]

We're going to have to build a special prison to contain him in isolation, just to keep him alive.

When we do, may I suggest that we make the prison cell oval shaped?

[TwilightZone]

1. There are plenty of prisons that could handle him now.

Solitary confinement isn't a rare thing. About 20% of state and federal inmates are confined in restricted areas at some point in their incarceration.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

4. Solitary

For the rest of his putrid life. I bet his sorry narcissistic ass would crack.Hopefully nobody would talk to him and the only communication he gets is a soggy baloney sandwich through a slot.

[TwilightZone]

7. While it's nice to fantasize...

I think he'd spend his time in a low-security prison, something like Lompoc in California, where they held inside trader Ivan Boesky, or FMC Rochester in Minnesota, where Jim Bakker served his time.

FMC Rochester can hold inmates of all security clearances. Something like that is probably where he'd end up, assuming they have the facilities required for isolation. Or maybe he could room with Jared Lee Loughner, the Tucson/Giffords shooter.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

37. I moved from Rochestet in September of 2022.

The blind Sheik responsible for the 1993 WTC attack was there in 2001 until Gil Gutnechkt had him transferred out to Colorado.

There are hard core MAGAts in Rochester. I lived next door to one. Had his 2020 flag flying for well over a year after the election. Also had guns willing to be used. I knocked on his door to ask permission to go into his back yard to trim a bush down along the fence when I saw the sign. Glad he was not home as I returned to my house.

Outside of Rochester on the way to Chatfield, a farm all decked out with TRUMP stuff and references. NRA stuff as well.

Rochester and Olmsted County did not go for him in 2020.

[Deuxcents]

8. I agree. I don't want any taxpayer money going to build him his own prison.

Our prisons can handle the most dangerous criminals and again, he’s no different from any of them. He’s had enough preferential treatment

[Trueblue1968]

29. Dirty Diaper Donnie can live in solitary ON ... THE ... MOON !!!!!!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

2. Well

Take away the criminal insurrectionist's security detail. He's not entitled ,he is an EX president and a criminal. Biden could end that bullshit .

[RockRaven]

3. I think it would be fitting to put him in a mobile home

set up inside the grounds of ADX Florence (aka the federal Supermax prison in Colorado). Double wide so there is plenty of room for his SS detail of course.

He would hate, Hate, HATE the "low class" (in his mind) aspect of such accommodations.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

69. Unnecessary if he's in one of the high-security sections of ADX Florence

One SS agent at the control center for the bloc the traitor's in, one for inside the main area's control center, and then someone for the perimeter.

He'd probably require *fewer* agents in prison than out of it.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. Every time I consider this, Spandau Prison comes to mind.

[TwilightZone]

11. My dad served in Germany in the 60s and was stationed there for a while.

It was during the time that Hess was the only one there.

[Sneederbunk]

81. They tore it down as soon as Rudolph died.

[TwilightZone]

82. Yep.

They tore it down, in part, to keep it from potentially becoming a neo-Nazi shrine.

[grumpyduck]

55. Darn, you beat me to it.

I was just thinking that.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

70. We have high security prisons already that are far worse than Spandau.

No need to put him somewhere alone.

[Lochloosa]

6. Plum Island.

The 1988 novel The Silence of the Lambs by author Thomas Harris mentions "Plum Island" as a potential supervised vacation site for Hannibal Lecter as a reward for helping to catch Jame Gumb. He derisively refers to it as "Anthrax Island." It is also used in this way in the movie adaptation of the novel.

[Grasswire2]

23. nooooooooo

Plum Island NY is being transformed into a habitat for local species.

AND, my ancestors were keepers of the lighthouse there for 43 years ending in 1903. I have a copy of the keeper's log from that period in time, and it was quite the gala stopping-over place for New York yachters, run as a sort of B&B. Even the POTUS came for fishing lessons.

[The Roux Comes First]

27. That's a Danged Good Case You Make!

Congrats on those admirable ancestors.

[canetoad]

28. This one of your family?

More details
George Bradford Brainerd (American, 1845–1887). Lighthouse Keeper, Plum Island, Long Island, 1879. Collodion silver glass wet plate negative. Brooklyn Museum

[Grasswire2]

48. haha! No. I've never seen that picture, though.

and something's wrong with the info because my ancestors, William Walker Wetmore and William Whiting Wetmore were the keepers in 1879.

[canetoad]

49. If the dates of birth and death

For the guy in the picture are correct, he looks awfully old for 34.

[Grasswire2]

50. Here are my keepers of the Plum Island NY light

Father and son both named William W. Wetmore.

https://www.bing.com/images/blob?bcid=sp7kny1RV4QGZbxtVn.vYw6Bjm-B.....3s

[canetoad]

59. A flash of insight

George Bradford Brainerd could have been the photographer of the lighthouse keeper who is not named in the caption. From Wiki:

George Bradford Brainerd (November 27, 1845 – April 13, 1887) was an American civil engineer, amateur photographer, and an amateur natural historian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bradford_Brainerd#Biography

So it's more than likely that the man pictured is, in fact William W Wetmore!

[Grasswire2]

60. I would have to get a better image, to tell.

Maybe I can enlarge the face on the fellow lounging on the grass. Take a look at his shoes. Do they look age appropriate?

That would be pretty exciting for the family.

[Grasswire2]

63. My sister was so startled when I showed her this.

We need to see what other photos Brainerd took of people there.
I currently possess the only known photo of the keeper's daughter, who died at age 3 when she set her dress on fire when playing with matches in the staircase of the light. Her father put her in a rowboat to row to the mainland for help, but she did not live. He had heard the screaming from the staircase and came to see her ablaze, there on the stairs. Emmaline Wetmore, RIP.

[canetoad]

64. What a great, if tragic history.

I dont know if you've seen this site: https://lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=743

But it describes the incident you mentioned but also notes William Wetmore's age. He died at 85 in 1892, so he was born C. 1807 making him around 72 when the picture was taken. I tried enlarging the photo but didn't spend a lot of time on it. The face is very hard to make out - lots of artifacts and blurring. The shirt looks about right for the time.

[Grasswire2]

65. There is a direct descendant living in Greenport still.

His name is..... William Wetmore! I have communicated with his brother who lives elsewhere who tells me that the shed in Greenport is full of items from their time at the light. Including Mrs. Wetmore's cookbook, which I would give several teeth to have. LOL.

Well, I am going to be in touch with the Brooklyn museum to see what stuff they have.

Thanks for this, so much.

[canetoad]

67. You are very welcome Grasswire

I'm not particularly into geneaology, but I love history in general. I hope you can meet the present day William Wetmore, this sounds like a story with much more to be told.

[UTUSN]

9. The smell would be inhumane treatment to the general population

[madinmaryland]

10. Gitmo.

[oldinmtdem92]

77. gitmo

it seems too good for diaper donny !

[ecstatic]

12. Umm, clear to who?

He did the crime, he'll do the time just like anyone else. No special treatment for a traitorous thug.

[Xipe Totec]

22. He's still entitled to secret service protection

So there right there is special treatment.

[Polybius]

25. He can't go with the general population

It would be a disaster.

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

I think he would do just fine in general population. And the toilets are oval.

[msongs]

14. is it moral to condemn secret service agents to a life in prison just cuz of him? nt

[TheKentuckian]

24. They will have shifts and rotations like the regular guards.

They were already sorta stuck with life with Chump anyway.
Now they will just be observing him in his natural habitat.

[Tree Lady]

33. I think they should put him in military prison

and give secret service a office with camera in his small cell. No extra treatment than that.

Personally I think if convicted he should lose his protection.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

35. Taxpayers are having to pay exorbitant room rates to house the agents at Mar-A-Lego.

That's been true ever since he was president. Big bucks going straight into TFG's pocket.

Don't forget they can only get their meals at the hotel, too. Lousy food at ridiculous prices, directly billed to the taxpayers. I doubt it's possible to audit all the money we've paid to his properties for the past seven years, plus the premium the military paid to divert their transports to land in Scotland so the aircrews would be put up at his private club -- again at ridiculous room rates.

"Grift" should have been the Word of the Year while he was in office.

[NYC Liberal]

15. Why not a military base?

Don't need a whole prison. Just a bare-bones isolated structure built as cheaply as possible. Easy to guard and good luck escaping.

[keithbvadu2]

16. Epstein was in an isolated cell... Very isolated!

[bluestarone]

38. That's the cell i recommend!

Perfect. Just gotta hope the camera trouble STILL exist!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. Guantanamo is nice this time of year.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

71. He doesn't deserve a tropical island

Put him in ADX Florence. Hotter than blazes in the summer, colder than a witch's bum in the winter. That's the kind of setting evil like him deserves.

[Johonny]

18. Yeah, I'd feel sorry for any prison population

That had to put up with him.

[pfitz59]

19. McNeil Island in Washington houses sex offenders

fitting location for the old pervert.

[rustbeltvoice]

20. Arkham Asylum

[Cuthbert Allgood]

41. People break out of Arkham ALL the time.

[dweller]

21. I rec

A dungeon



✌🏻

[The Roux Comes First]

26. On the Apparently Established Position That Cattle Do Not Like Corners?

[multigraincracker]

30. I would hope he could get his

GED and work on rehabilitation.

[rubbersole]

32. GED from Wharton.

[Journeyman]

31. Of course we can't. The Constitution protects all prisoners from Cruel and Unusual Punishment . . .

and what could be more cruel and unusual than to spend every hour listening to Trump constantly whine about all the injustices he's had to endure.

[jmowreader]

34. FEMA trailer on the grounds of a FCI in a blue state

It might cost $1000 to run power, water and sewer to an isolated part of the prison grounds, but once you do you can just park a camper out there and stick Trump in it. You do understand he’s going to have to be moved on a fairly regular basis to keep his fans from trying to bust him out.

[no_hypocrisy]

36. And will he be sent to a prison like the ones where

Martha Stewart and Leona Helmsley were confined? A prison but without the crudities?

[Emile]

39. No reason why he can't have cell mates.

He broke the laws and must face his punishment just like anyone else.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

42. There are all kinds of reasons why he can't.

We don't house cops in the general population. No way a President would be.

[Emile]

43. We never had a president in prison before,

so there is nothing to compare. Lock him up with cell mates and if that doesn't work we'll try something else.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

45. Look, I don't like Trump, but that method could get us a dead President.

And, yeah, sure, do the crime do the time blah blah blah. But if a President ends up going to prison, there is zero chance they are in the gen population. Zero. And that makes sense.

[Emile]

46. Then the next president who goes to prison

we'll have to try something different. Right now there is nothing to guide us about locking up ex presidents. So what we do for the other prisoners right now, that is our only guidance.

[Eugene]

40. The BoP would likely put him in a medical unit, given his advanced age and less-than-stellar health.

I'm not ruling out him dragging out the appeals process until he croaks.

[Chainfire]

44. How long was Hess the only prisoner in Spandau?

I think that we could afford it.

[Hotler]

47. One to a cell at Supermax in Florence, Colorado. No mingling with other inmates ever.

Campaign sign idea; Trump For Supermax 2024

[Jarqui]

51. He's an animal

Put him in a zoo!

Keep him a safe distance from the other animals.

The attendance money from lines of MAGAts to see him can be used to help other animals.

For once, Trump can do some good

[dflprincess]

52. Put him in Alcatraz

He could become part of the tour.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

73. Stop. Seriously.

Alcatraz is now a national historic site, with a booming tourism industry built around it. Nobody's going to kill off all those mom and pop businesses over this walking rubbish heap.

Alcatraz will never go back to being a regular prison. Deal with it.

[LakeArenal]

53. Just lock him up. Guantanamo sounds good to me.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

74. Again--he doesn't deserve a tropical island

He deserves someplace with crap weather, most of the year.

ADX Florence is perfect both for its lousy climate and for its high security.

[Rebl2]

54. Put him

In Leavenworth prison in KS. With guards at all times.

[lpbk2713]

56. A shipping container would do nicely.

Put it in Death Valley in the summer time. The Aleutian Islands in the winter.

[WarGamer]

57. He'd never see the inside of a prison...

Best hope is an ankle monitor inside the residential suite at M-A-L

[QED]

80. Agree - but I think he'll be deceased before the appeals are exhausted.

[grumpyduck]

58. I'm all for locking him up in a sewer, but

unfortunately I have to go with locking him up in whatever is appropriate for anyone else who gets convicted of what he gets convicted of. IOW, treat him like anyone else.

Supermax, Leavenworth, Gitmo, wherever anyone else would be sent. Secret Service detail? Ask for volunteers and switch them out often.

[Xipe Totec]

61. Sadly that's not an option

He is still a former president and entitled to Secret Service security for life. Subjecting SS agents to living in those prison facilities is beyond the call of duty. So if not for the sake of Trump, then for the sake of the SS agents he must be kept separate from the general prison population. So, if that's going to be the case anyway, why not build him a brick and mortar oval office with brick desk and a brick seat that can serve both as a desk chair and a toilet. The sarcastic irony of giving him an oval office is just... delicious.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

75. Oh FFS

The Secret Service wouldn't be 'living' in those facilities for even five seconds. They would serve on shifts inside the facility just like prison guards, then go home at the end of the work day.

Stop exaggerating what their work would entail. It's silly.

[oldinmtdem92]

79. sadly its not a option

we should treat the wanabe dictator like ,the others through history, moussilini comes to mind, handed naked and beat with sticks no ss protection for felons !!

[sakabatou]

62. Wherever he goes, I just hope he loses electronic media privileges

As well as access to the press.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

76. At ADX Florence

The prisoners are not allowed computers or cell phones. They also have to *earn* the right to get a radio and TV. The TV is black and white, and plays *only* loops of religious and educational programming--nothing else.

I keep telling all of you--ADX Florence is the perfect resting place for this traitor slob.

[VGNonly]

66. Devils Island

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

68. You don't need a special prison

Just send him to the Range 13 bloc at ADX Florence.

The prisoners are basically in solitary 23 hours a day, and let out only for an hour for exercise--ALONE. They have zero contact with other prisoners, and almost no contact with guards. The cells have 'double' entry doors, meaning that there's a regular 'cell' door between the prisoner and the entry, and then a solid steel door for the staff to enter for things like dropping off meals or fresh uniforms and linens. The bloc is essentially a cul de sac with a guard station that's also barricaded from the rest of the prison. Visitors must submit to full searches before getting access to prisoners, and they must communicate through a barrier. Their allotted visitation times are scheduled and severely limited in amount of time granted.

No one has ever escaped from there.

This is what the cell looks like:



Problem solved.

[Generic Brad]

72. What law or statute says a former president can't be in a general prison population?

If he is found guilty of committing crimes, fuck his feelings. Off to jail.

[Siwsan]

78. Think Hannibal Lecter.

If I knew how to photoshop, I'd tweak this image.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

83. TFG would not go to regular prison but would probably get some sort of home confinment

If convicted, it is likely that TFG will get some sort of home confinement or minimum security prison.

Link to tweet

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/08/04/trump-criminal-cases-prison-secret-service/

....Could Trump face prison? “Theoretically, yes and practically, no,” said Chuck Rosenberg, a former top federal prosecutor and counsel to then-FBI Director James B. Comey. Rosenberg served briefly as head of the Drug Enforcement Administration in the Trump administration and notably said the president had “condoned police misconduct” in remarking to officers in Long Island that they need not protect suspects’ heads when loading them into police vehicles.

“Any federal district judge ought to understand it raises enormous and unprecedented logistical issues,” Rosenberg said of the prospect Trump could be incarcerated. “Probation, fines, community service and home confinement are all alternatives.”.....

Mary McCord, who served as acting assistant attorney general for national security during President Barack Obama’s administration and led the department for the first several months under Trump, said Trump presents unique challenges to the Justice Department. Ensuring some penalty for a former president under Secret Service detail would require extensive discussions and potential accommodations, “because it really would be a pretty enormous burden on our prison system to have to incarcerate Donald Trump.”

The question is an open one at the U.S. Secret Service. Asked whether a former president who does not waive protection can be incarcerated, agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, “The Secret Service does not have a comment or response, only because there is no such policy or procedure that currently exists.”.....

Former and current Secret Service agents said that while there is no precedent, they feel certain the agency would insist on providing some form of 24/7 protection to an imprisoned former president. And, they say, the agency is probably planning for that possibility, seeking to match to some degree its normal practice of rotating three daily shifts of at least one or two agents providing close proximity protection.

I suspect that TFG will get some sort of home confinement.
