Georgia, what have you wrought? If convicted, President Trump will be looking at up to 76.5 years in prison – for questioning a rigged election.
Former President Donald Trump confirmed he will be surrendering to ‘authorities’ today at Fulton County Jail in Georgia over the charges he faces for contesting the state’s 2020 election result.

“Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History,” he wrote on Truth Social.
It bears noting that Sheriff Patrick Labatt’s Fulton County Jail has been plagued with numerous issues over the years. Stabbings are not uncommon. Aside from the inmate-on-inmate violence, a female deputy came under assault last Friday by a prisoner who bit off a chunk of her ear. A few months ago, more than 200 shanks were discovered inside the Fulton County Jail.In February, a detention officer was arrested after being accused of not protecting an inmate from physical harm and aiding and abetting during the commission of a crime.
This is who and what our great President must surrender to.
Trump Will Be Treated as a Common Prisoner: Fulton County Sheriff
By Naveen Athrappully, The Epoch Times, August 24, 2023
The Fulton County sheriff said that Donald Trump will be treated like local inmates during the booking process, with no special accommodations accorded to the former U.S. president.
ADVERTISEMENT“If you’re indicted, then we’re going to treat you as though you’re indicted here locally, and so we’ll consider you to do fingerprints, mugshots, etc.” said Sheriff Patrick Labatt to CNN.
Charles Rambo, a retired lieutenant of the sheriff’s office, said to the media outlet that once inside “they would be pat down, led to the booking office in the rear. From there, they probably have to have ties and shoe strings and all those types of things taken. Then, from there the persons would be fingerprinted, given a booking photo.”
President Trump along with the other defendants are expected to be photographed for mugshots. It is unclear whether Trump or any of the high-profile co-defendants would go through all steps typically taken by a prisoner at the facility.
“I don’t expect Trump to spend hours in this jail because the longer he is, it’s a pain. It’s going to be a hassle for the entire sheriff’s department or at least those who are at the jail when the president’s there. It’s going to be a circus,” said Chris Timmons, former Georgia prosecutor to CNN. “The ‘Rice Street’ jail is not a pleasant place. It’s dirty, it’s scary.”
In July, the Department of Justice (DOJ) launched a civil rights investigation into the Fulton County jail.
Charges Against Trump and Co-defendantsPresident Trump and 18 other individuals were indicted Aug. 14 by a grand jury in Georgia for alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The Georgia indictment charged President Trump with 13 counts, including violation of the state’s RICO act, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, filing false documents, and solicitation of violation of oath by a public office among others.
