George Santos, a former congressman, is serving a 7-year sentence in federal prison for wire fraud and identity theft. He is currently imprisoned at FCI Fairton in New Jersey, where he documents his experiences and compares them to his former political career.
Santos describes wearing prison uniforms and working in the kitchen, which is completely different from attending high-profile fundraisers and Manhattan galas. He has met various inmates, including one who immediately claimed to be 'the senator' when Santos arrived.
The former congressman reflects on how his actions affected others, particularly his campaign fundraiser Sam Miele, who was also sentenced. Despite his circumstances, Santos remains optimistic about his future and continues seeking a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
He was expelled from Congress in December 2023 after being caught fraudulently obtaining campaign donations for personal expenses.
