If a regular prison, a section of it, or another facility made especially for guys like Trump and perhaps some congressional J6 types, to give him company, they really do need a prison for politicians, government officials, child molesters, cops, judges, justices and others that can't go to a normal prison. It would reduce the number of agents required to protect him to a handful and one would be stationed outside his cell to shove his food tray through the grub hole in the cell door then go back, sit at the desk and watch him eat it on the TV monitor... Prisoner #00045 will eat his lunch.
There is one federal facility where he would have very good security and no cell mate, the supermax prison in Colorado and the SS can set up a field office.
Why Secret Service protection for Donald Trump is different than for other ex-presidents
The legal woes of Donald Trump have cast a new light on the role of those federal agents assigned to protect him and other former presidents for the rest of their lives: the U.S. Secret Service.
There they were, accompanying the 45th president as he made his way into a Manhattan courthouse earlier this month to be fingerprinted and arraigned on 34 felony counts.
Meanwhile, current and former officers assigned to Trump are part of another investigation of the former president, reportedly having to testify at a Washington, D.C., grand jury as part of the investigation into classified documents seized at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
All this, along with other potential cases, including his involvement with the Jan. 6 riots, and accusations of 2020 election interference in Georgia, at least raise the possibility that Trump could be convicted, and perhaps, incarcerated.
