Here's What It's Really Like To Enter The Witness Protection Program

The video explores the U.S. Federal Witness Protection Program, known as Witsec, which safeguards witnesses before, during, and after trials. Participants and their families are relocated to secret locations, undergo identity changes, and must resolve debts. They receive financial support and must adhere to strict rules, including no contact with their past. Protection is provided during trials, but anonymity is prioritized. Challenges include isolation and the difficulty of leaving the program, which removes all protective services.
