Do they want to train and equip the prison guards to provide secret service level security? That is the only way your argument makes sense that they are genuine in this.
The answer is no. They do not want guarantee Trump the same level of security.
Why should they?
If someone ends up in prison then they lose certain rights. Which is something I imagine you generally support. Unless it affects your cult leader.
It’s all moot anyway. There’s no way Trump will end up in prison
This is incorrect in regards to political power. Someone who is in prison can be elected President. They don't lose that right to be elected, or their powers.
Major presidential candidates have been given Secret Service protection to safeguard elections, and as a matter of law:

The Secret Service does not determine who qualifies for protection, nor is the Secret Service empowered to independently initiate candidate protection.
Under 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7), "[m]ajor Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates," as identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are eligible for Secret Service protection.
Title 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates:
- Protection is authorized by the DHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional Advisory Committee;
- The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others;
- Protection under these guidelines should only be granted within one year prior to the general election. Protection more than one year prior to the general election should only be granted in extraordinary, case by case circumstances in consultation with the committee, based on threat assessment and other factors.
The laws above say that major presidential candidates should be receiving Secret Service protection.
Makes sense. Would you want Joe Biden to have SS protection in Jail? How would that even work?
Political assassinations have more effect than the benefit of a single party. No, I wouldn't want Joe Biden in his role of US President to be in a jail without Secret Service protection.
