## Resource

After just months behind bars, George Santos says prison broke him, then changed him forever. We follow his journey from fear and isolation to desperate hope, as he pens a plea for mercy to President Trump. When that pardon unexpectedly arrives, Santos finds himself freed, facing a nation skeptical of his redemption, and a future filled with tough questions. Can a presidential pardon erase the past? And what will Santos do with his second chance at life outside prison walls?
