In reply to the discussion: If Trump is convicted, Secret Service protection may be obstacle to imprisonment [View all]wiggs
(8,844 posts)convicted Trump should face (if/when/what jurisdiction/what crime/how long), the US has many, many kinds of prisons in many kinds of places. It is a huge industry. Did they research the hundreds of different kinds of public and private prisons that exist? I'm sure a place can be found for him...even if the US buys a small home for him to do his time in, with a couple of double wides for secret service and prison guards placed in the driveway.
I like Rosenberg but his comment is made without benefit of knowing anything about the seriousness and types of crimes tfg might be convicted for. Or if it's state or fed. Or duration. Or if a plea deal is involved. Or if Trump is unrepentant, angry, threatening, etc during the trial. I'm fine with home confinement if he's acquitted on most charges and his sentence involves less than a year's incarceration. But if he stacks up conviction after conviction and most people in his situation would get prison time, then I'm sure TPTB can find a place for him.
The article ends with a knowledgable person, a former judge, saying that of course an accommodation could be made...unclear if it means at home or in a facility.
