If he goes to jail, will it be a soft jail, even house arrest or will he be breaking rocks for the rest of his life?
A former president who is still politically powerful will likely not see the inside of a jail cell. Exile and disqualification from office would be ideal, but I don't think the charges brought are serious enough for a judge to consider that. Least of all against a former president who also happens to be the favorite for the GOP nomination.
House arrest at Mar-a-Lago seems the most likely - and is also the worst possible outcome, hopefully they put him in NYC instead. Trump being put in house arrest at the "white house of the south" would be bad for a number of reasons.
