Statute is clear, it's for life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] venusenvy47@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustZ@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (4 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] venusenvy47@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago I don't think he will be "in prison" in any sense during the booking, so it doesn't sound too important about how close they are. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's called 'protective custody.' Child molesters, known stool pigeons, and ex-cops are kept in a separate area. Cells are locked 23 hours a day with one hour of exercise alone in a segregated yard. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Seg pop, the shu. permalink fedilink source parent [–] elscallr@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) There's no statute and the secret service doesn't comment on protection procedures.

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zarp86@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) Bet he'll get Epstein'd, though.
