Could Trump Go to Prison? If He Does, the Secret Service Goes, Too
nytimes.com
The U.S. Secret Service is in the business of protecting the president, whether he’s inside the Oval Office or visiting a foreign war zone.
But protecting a former president in prison? The prospect is unprecedented. That would be the challenge if Donald J. Trump — whom the agency is required by law to protect around the clock — is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to serve time.
Even before the trial’s opening statements, the Secret Service was in some measure planning for the extraordinary possibility of a former president behind bars. Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to remind Mr. Trump that attacks on witnesses and jurors could land him in jail even before a verdict is rendered.

The secret service will be there to prevent other inmates from beating national secrets out of him.
Trump? Keep secrets?
Well in theory that's why they'd be there....
Fair point, but the rules are not specifically for Trump, they're for any US ex president.
Alright, they're there to prevent him just blurting them out with no prompting whatsoever.
I think you need the Sedation Service for that.
This is why he'll never be in general population.
Shit all they have to do is tell him the Democrats said XYZ and he'd tell them why they're wrong.
Is anything that man had access to even a "secret" anymore?
Trump would likely be segregated from other prisoners (aka solitary confinement) for his own safety & the safety of the guards.
I honestly doubt he remembers anything at this point.
