George Santos Says It Will be ‘Nightmare’ for BOP If He’s Brutalized in Prison

George Santos is cautioning the Bureau of Prisons that there will be severe consequences if he faces mistreatment in prison during his upcoming sentence. The former New York congressman expressed to TMZ that any harm inflicted upon him while in federal prison will result in a significant issue for the BOP. If his personal rights are violated, he anticipates his lawyer releasing a statement regarding any abuse or assault he may endure, something he believes the BOP would prefer to avoid dealing with. George emphasizes that he will not remain silent about any mistreatment. Scheduled to begin his federal prison term on July 25, he admits to feeling apprehensive about his safety behind bars and questions what may happen to him. George acknowledges the BOP’s purpose of ensuring inmates’ well-being in theory, but points out the reality of numerous negative occurrences faced by inmates. He aims not to become a negative statistic for the BOP. George has been sentenced to 87 months after admitting guilt to wire fraud and identity theft charges. He hopes to be placed in protective custody and is working with his legal team on the request, as well as exploring options for a potential pardon, clemency, and commutation. Despite his worries about prison life, George states he is not learning self-defense techniques, emphasizing his nonviolent nature and reluctance to resort to self-defense. As he prepares to surrender, George is spending quality time with his family, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. The Bureau of Prisons has not responded to requests for comment.
