    I’m sure that as soon as, eg, Donald Trump or some other prominent conservatism locked up we’ll be hearing about how “unfair” the prison system is.

    Sort of like how due-process and prisoner wellbeing suddenly became something Republicans cared about when J6 folks started getting thrown in predetention.

      Even on the off chance Trump does go to prison, he’ll definitely be getting like 3 months in a white collar facility

        Several of his buddies have ended up in Riker’s Island for lesser shit. Happily, I don’t think we can be sure he’ll get a cushy prison, should that come to pass.

            That’s absolutely fair. Neither will I, but any prison will likely be detrimental to his campaign, since he’ll lose a lot of his stream-of-consciousness exposure, and he won’t be allowed to have many visitors.

            So by that note, I’ll be happy if he sees any prison time, cushy or not.
