      It’s not like your name is on your tray in jail so someone would have to poison the whole jail basically.

      And if they need to, the Secret Service can make him a damn ham and cheese sandwich.

      You really don’t have any idea what jail is like I take it? So I’m going to paint a picture. It’s not a resort. You don’t get your own food. You don’t get a room. You get a cell with a metal toilet with no ring and no lid. And if needed, jails are quite capable of segregating inmates in a single cell with 24 hour lockdown.

      He’ll be quite safe. Uncomfortable and probably screaming like a baby until he tires himself out. But safe.

              That would be quite the look for the US.

              In fact, it’s already quite the look, with him being the leading candidate of his party. Madness.

              Not if they actually follow the 14th amendment, this would solidify him as having been involved with a coup against the country and should bar him from holding office unless 60% of congress allows him.

          This article is mostly about the federal prison system. They may have different rules about segregation units. Minimum yard time, stuff like that. The article mentions movement and keeping a protective bubble around Trump, two issues that state prisons and county jails solve every day with extended segregation units when housing high profile prisoners. Yes, having Secret Service in the prison would make things a bit more complicated but much less so if Trump was in segregated housing.

          Not that I think extended seg time is a great way for anyone to spend their life. But this idea that Georgia can’t figure out how to put him in prison if they want to just isn’t true. It’s just not that complicated once you take movement and other prisoners out of the equation.
