The general notion floating around seems to be that "one simply could not" put a former president in a prison. Unthinkable!
But, I mean, would he be any any real exceptional danger when compared to other inmates? I don't think so.
Is there a way to force all involved to really explicitly articulate their reasons for special treatment should it be needed due to a conviction? It seems like a lot of classist BS to me.
And, I will also take the house arrest or whatever, but I will question it.
