He'll find a nice home with the prison racists. But he'll probably have to do some ah...uncomfortable things.

He'll be right at home and join the AB (Aryan Brotherhood) right after he walks in the door. Will get his AB tats, too.

Ya just know he will too if there's a chapter there. Of course, if not, he can always start one.

Leadfoot Larry has also been convicted of state-level crimes. He won't be seeing the sunny side of those prison walls ever again.

... and for those, Trump could pardon him. However, he was previously convicted on state charges and, for those, Trump cannot pardon him. So, even if Trump pardons him for the federal crimes, he would still remain in prison.

Trump doesn't give a shit about him. He's just an expendable foot solider amounting to nothing.
