Things like bed size, using the toilet or showering, getting food or even getting them into the cell or moving them around the prison all seem like it would take a lot of planning and logistics on the prisons part.

They won’t go to a regular prison. Bariatric patients like that basically need to live in convalescent homes. There are medical facilities designed specifically for inmates whose basic medical needs could not be met in a normal prison. Granted, these people make up a small minority of inmates. Most people who require convalescent care don’t commit felonies that lead to prison time because they literally can’t leave their home.
