So what's the Secret Service procedure on having someone they're protecting be booked in a State Court system?

    I doubt it ever happened before, so whatever the policy will be, it's going to be brand new

    They would go with him. Statute is clear, it's for life.

    Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.

    I hadn't thought of it that way. He's definitely entitled to protection while in prison. I don't see any statute or regulation that sets a distance. They have to protect dude though.

    Does that give them authority over the jails on procedures?

    I imagine it's a case of the Secret Service coordinating with the State on how to handle Trump. No matter what he did, he's a former president, and is entitled to the protection of the Secret Service.

    Bet he'll get Epstein'd, though.

    As long as he hates it, I'll love it.

    Honestly, him never being president again and having to stay alone for a few years in a cheap motel with free HBO with the Secret Service guarding outside would be enough for me.

    Or he'll be in ADX Florence with other traitors.

    ADX Florence is designed to keep the prisoners completely isolated, there aren't any hallway encounters for a walk-by shiv.

    It's pretty much the only place he could be incarcerated without going full Pablo.

    I was about to say - being a supermax, there is no interaction with other prisoners, so that makes the Secret Service's job easier.

    Most likely though, I'm thinking the Dept. of Corrections may end up building a dedicated facility just for Trump. A prison with one prisoner sort of like Spandau Prison in Germany.
