If former President Donald Trump is really treated like any other person charged with crimes when he's processed at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia as local sheriff Patrick Labat promised, he'll likely be in for a "humiliating experience," Atlanta-based lawyer Michael Harper told Insider. Harper, who has sued the jail multiple times on behalf of the families of men who died while in custody, said that the facility's intake area is huge and that detainees are typically booked in front of others undergoing the process.
"He can expect a humiliating experience," Harper told the outlet Tuesday. "Just being searched, photographed, and fingerprinted amongst other people." If all is as usual at the jail, Trump will likely be "surrounded by people charged with everyday crimes" like murder and rape, he said. "This is not a federal prison of white-collar criminals here," he added, noting that the jail is "certainly not the accommodations Donald Trump will be used to." Harper explained that the typical booking process can last hours as detainees move from station to station and are subject to a physical search, a full-body scan and a medical intake screening before having their mugshot taken and being fingerprinted.
