If he goes to prison he is dead anyway, the people in prisons tend to not like politicians that made death sentence for drug offenses a thing...
Apparently he would keep the secret service protection, although this is uncharted waters for sure. Opening Arguments podcast OA758: Re-Indicted And It Feels So Good! seems to agree.
