Jail, I vote Jail, please I wanna see that bastard in a jumpsuit

Felonies in New York, does that mean Rikers? Asking for a friend

Rikers is a jail which means it houses three groups. Those are pretrial detainee, people convicted of misdemeanors (crimes punishable by up to a year), or people convicted of felonies (crimes punishable by more than a year) but who were sentenced to less than a year.

If he is sentenced to incarceration for over a year, Trump would go to one of New York's prisons. If under a year, he could go to a jail like Rikers.

*edit to fix horrible phrasing.

or felonies (punishable by more than a year) but sentenced to less than a year If sentenced to incarceration for over a year

I had to read this 4 times to finally realize there's a missing period that makes it make sense.
