The closest we came was Nixon, and he was pardoned before any trials to save the country embarrassment. Protecting the ex-pres is still the Secret Services responsibility. There’s no way he goes into a normal prison - even a Club Fed white collar one.

The departments of correction have lots of experience dealing with “special” prisoners—e.g., governors, former members of Congress, etc. if we want, we could compare notes with South Korea, who recently sent an ex-president to the slammer.

I think the likeliest outcome would be a facility with exactly one prisoner—Trump. There likely exists such a place, or they could easily construct one. Trump will never be anywhere near a general prison population. Picture Frankie Pentangeli’s setup in _The Godfather II_.

And accommodating a SS detail would be trivially easy. It would be the most boring detail of their careers, but I’m sure they could provide a few stools so the agents wouldn’t have to stand all day.
