You don't face consequences from criminal charges until you are convicted, which hasn't happened yet. Or someone is trying to make an example of you ala Kevin Mitnick.
I mean yeah, he's absurdly rich and greedy but I don't think he would have gone the route of Bible salesman like that if he wasn't pinched for funds. Or he would have back when he posed for that photo of him holding the Bible upside down. It's not a coincidence that the Bible sale started less than 48 hours from the bond being reduced.
He hasn't been convicted of a crime yet. Until he is, he's not going to prison. That's pretty fundamental to how the criminal justice system works. He's got damages levied against him that he's going to challenge and probably have reduced some (that's how it often goes), and had to put up $175M as a bond that will immediately go towards said damages after his appeal.
You'd have to legally revoke his security detail, and even then you probably don't want to - as a former President he's a valuable asset because of what he might know despite his seemingly poor retention. As well as the sway he has over his cult. You ideally want to imprison him separate from all other prisoners with his security detail living on site if possible. I've said before the easiest way to make that happen is to convert the SHU at a medium-large prison into a sort of "Presidential suite" to house Trump and his security detail. No one else enters or leaves the unit, anything going in or out goes through both prison security and SS security.
It's a side bonus that it prevents inmates from being thrown in solitary at the same time. And a proper prison is easier to defend from "protesters" than most jails are, and which prison he is sent to should take the possibility of an attack by right wing nutters into consideration.
It does, but only because you have to plan around it happening. Most jails aren't really set up to deal with that sort of thing, and contempt sends you to jail, not prison. So you have to figure out how to do that without causing a bunch of innocent people to be injured or killed as a consequence. Ideally before you put him in the jail. And where to send the people you'd normally jail there, because he's going to take up excessive space for the same security-related reasons he will in prison.
