Why is it impossible for an ex president to go to jail for contempt of court? He’s just a citizen, now, and a citizen would have their bail revoked.

There are a lot of reasons a judge would want to avoid prison, specifically. And the system is set up such that if there are circumstances where there’s a good reason to avoid prison for a certain person, there are alternative punishments like fines or house arrest.
