    Yeah, ideal solution is that the SS detail remains intact and he just goes to jail and the SS just deals with it. I’ve heard that solitary is a good way to protect inmates when a substantial number of other inmates want to do them harm. Just sayin’

      Solitary confinement is inhumane and should be illegal.

      Also we’re kidding ourselves if we don’t think he’ll get put in the most safe, cushy prison imaginable (assuming he’s charged)

        It should be, but isn’t, and given the circumstances would not uncalled for for Trump.

        Also, he is charged. I assume you mean convicted?

        Well, the food is inhumane. Gen pop is definitely inhumane. Then again I would be terrified to be spanked or harassed and love isolation lol.

            Yeah people who say shit like that have never been to jail or prison. Cause you wouldn’t. Isolation is fantastic when you’re home and you can lounge and play video games. Not so great in an empty 6 ft box.
