Unless he could be convicted for the deaths that occurred on Jan 6, the types of felonies he might be convicted for wouldn't lead to a federal maximum security prison. I know that these fantasies are satisfying but I fear that when they are crushed by reality there will be an unwarranted distrust of the judicial system. YMMV
Judiciary has zero say on where prisoners are housed, all a sentencing judge can do is 'suggest' to Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP). Length of sentence plays into level of security where prisoners are housed, but other factors such as risk of break out and security of both inmate and society and others are also factors. FBOP can assign inmate to any facility in their system, it is their discretion.
Treason is the only crime that is mentioned in the US Constitution, and the maximum penalty is death. The trick is getting a conviction for treason because these are different times. i.e., there is hardly a more serious crime than treason and the penalty can most certainly be put to death.
I think there is a consensus among legal scholars that the crime of treason cannot go unpunished even if it was committed by a former president and elected officials - all of whom have violated their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
I'm thinking it is inaccurate to call this a fantasy. There is a reality here that is all too real and must be addressed!
Yes, treason is mentioned in the COTUS but it has more to do with providing aid and comfort to external enemies. Sedition is also mentioned in the COTUS. To me that seems more applicable to this case. https://thelawdictionary.org/article/treason-vs-sedition/
When he is a convicted felon his Secret Service protection must be rescinded. This guy needs real prison…..death Row would be an extra bonus.
Maximum security prison, solitary confinement separated from other inmates. Super safe. One Secret Service person just sits outside the cell.

I agree about rescinding his protection but it would take Congress to do so and realistically that's not going to happen.
