I know that all former presidents recieve the Secret Service protection for the rest of their life after leaving office. I was just wondering if Nixon had actually gone to prison, would his Secret Service continue to guard him there? How would that work? He wouldn't have been in the general population, would he?

There is no way he would have been put out with the population. At the most he probably would have been kept under some "house arrest" program.

Dumb question. Of course the government would not want the embarrassment of harm being done to a former president in prison.
He would have had the best security imaginable. And full secret service protection. Probably would have built him his own jail suite and office.

It would have been a war guards against secret service. Other prisoners would have been constantly investigated for saying death threats to him. Some prisoners would have been taken down for trying to steal his shoes.
Seriously he would have been put in special prison or house arrest.

They could have used a concise rota system; 8 hours on, 11 hours off. 2 guards would be enough

Nixon would have been put up at Camp David for his prison time. That would have solved the dilemma.

I think the President would go to a military prison if he actually had to go to prison. He is the Commander in Chief of the military, right?

They would give him fresh soap on a rope every day.

They'd make sure he wouldn't drop the soap and such.

He probably would have been pardoned, and set free.
