Former congressman George Santos is making public statements about his safety just weeks before he must report to federal prison. Santos was sentenced to 87 months in prison on April 25, 2025, for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He has until July 25, 2025, to turn himself in to federal custody.
Santos posted a message on his X account expressing concerns about what might happen to him in prison. He wrote about statistics regarding what happens to gay men in federal custody, calling them “horrifying.” The former New York representative said he was putting this information out publicly to avoid any confusion if something were to happen to him.
