(11,297 posts)If you are rich... you get country club prison camp and attenuated sentencing.
If you are poor, you'd be in a federal prison.
If you are black or any racial minority (rich or poor), you'd be dead, "shot while fleeing arrest" or "found dead in cell"
HOWEVER --- if you simply suck off the dear leader in public forums and storm the Capitol, you go free AND get paid...

(4,200 posts)First question, are you a Democrat or a Republican?
Second question, what is your net worth?
Bonus question, has your salary been frozen at $174k for more than 5 years?
DFW
(60,466 posts)Or maybe La Digue? Or Bora Bora? One of those well-known prisons where you face daily sexual harassment from the most beautiful (women/men, you get your preference) from your island or the surrounding ones. Imports from Europe and Asia available for a nominal supplement.

(2,688 posts)"Martha Stewarts Insider Trading Scandal"...
In the early 2000s, Americas most famous homemaker became the center of headlines, speculations,
and eventually a federal investigation concerning her stock trading. Martha Stewart was accused
of insider trading after she sold four thousand ImClone shares one day before that firms stock price
plummeted. Although the charges of securities fraud were thrown out, Ms Stewart was found guilty
of four counts of obstruction of justice and lying to investigators. She was sentenced to five months
of prison, five months of house arrest, and two years of probation.
