What would jail be like for Trump if judge seeks prison time over gag order violations?

As the third week of testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial draws to a close, the former president continues to face the possibility of an unwelcome predicament: that he could see the inside of a jail cell.

Earlier this week, Mr Trump, 77, was held in contempt of court for a tenth time after violating the gag order issued by Justice Juan Merchan in the case.

The order was first implemented back in March as an attempt to stop Mr Trump making statements about jurors, witnesses and families of the judge and prosecutors.

To date, Mr Trump has been fined $1,000 for 10 separate violations of that order.

And now, Judge Merchan is warning the former president that any further breaches could result in time in jail.

On the surface, Mr Trump appears stoic in the face of prison time, claiming that a stint in jail would be a “sacrifice” he’s willing to make in order to uphold what he deems to be his constitutional rights.

However, since this final warning, the ex-president has remained more tight-lipped about the trial where he is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels to silence her about an alleged 2006 affair ahead of the 2016 election. Mr Trump denies both the affair and the charges against him.

But if he does breach the gag order again, and Judge Merchan follows through on his warning and hands out a jail sentence, what would Mr Trump’s imprisonment look like?

Imprisoning a former president would involve major planning involving the likes of a workaround of his Secret Service deal, where he might be held, what he might eat and – the killer question – whether he’ll be able to style his hair.
