If Trump Goes to Prison, Does the Secret Service Go, Too?

From 1994 through 2012, former presidents were only entitled to 10 years of free Secret Service protection. Congress passed the law because it costs millions of dollars of taxpayer money to
pay for round-the-clock security for former presidents and their spouses. Congress restored the lifetime guarantee in 2013, citing heightened security concerns.

Trump's various indictments have left many wondering if the Secret Service would accompany Trump (or any other convicted former president) to prison.

"Yes, no question," said Ronald Kessler, author of two books about the Secret Service: "In the President's Secret Service" and "The First Family Detail."

"There wouldn't be a Secret Service agent inside his cell, but I expect that there would be two agents outside of his cell,
two agents in the corridor leading up to the cell block and another two agents at the entrance to the prison."

But would there be any special accommodation for an incarcerated former commander in chief?

"[The prison] would have to serve him meals in his cell. He couldn't be with the general population," said Kessler. "That's the only accommodation.
He wouldn't be given any special treatment. He wouldn't be given a telephone for example. It would just be pure protection."
