Does anyone know how you throw an ex- Prez in jail? How does that work with Secret Service protection and so on?

Do you really just have to default to home detention with limited communication or what? I'd love for Trump to test these waters on many cases, but I think the judges he stands before have this issue that is before them beyond the limited scope of the case that goes unspoken but is daunting and substantive. I am sure all that read this would like to default to "just lock him up" but in reality whether the result of a gag order or contempt citation in court, just what does that look like and how is it really handled?

And we learned that there's a jail cell through the door at the back of the courtroom for incarcerated defendants waiting for trial - so a jail cell is not far away if they decide to use it.
