Accepting pardon = admission of guilt & Protective Isolation is Solitary for inmates who'll get shanked in general pop.

"I would pardon Trump if he is found guilty. A leader needs to think about what's in the best interest of the country. What's in the best interest of the country is not to have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail that continues to divide our country. What's in the best interest of the country would be to pardon him so we can move on as a country and no longer talk about him."; -Nikki Haley essentially saying what our divided nation needs in order to heal is the a-hole who openly tried to make himself king, stoked the division from the bully pulpit of the Presidency, is still stoking the division through his own media platform given a pardon, set loose to try again instead of spending the rest of his life behind bars lawfully deprived of all access to the media beyond what he can pass on through an inch-thick plate of lucite. Although... she did specify "80-year-old" so she just might be in favor of letting him stew for a year in protective isolation.
