To the Editor:Re “Should Trump Be Sentenced to Prison? Two Opposing Views” (Opinion guest essay, June 3):The retired judge Nancy Gertner’s argument against imprisoning Donald Trump omits the simple reality that without prison time, Donald Trump faces no meaningful punishment. Mr. Trump plainly does not see the fact of having been convicted, standing by itself, as a shameful judgment on himself. And Mr. Trump is not a credible candidate for probation. No one can argue with a straight face that Mr. Trump sees any need to change his life, nor that criminal justice system supervision could bring him around.
