People in the Federal Witness Security Program are given whole new identities. Not only do they change their names, but they're also relocated to a new city. The witness protection program protects witnesses by making them totally anonymous in their new surroundings. As part of the program, a witness will receive a reasonable job opportunity, assistance in finding a house, subsistence payments, identity documents, and, if necessary, counseling. Threatened witnesses also are protected before any trials or in other high-risk situations. Once in their new lives, witnesses are forbidden from contacting unprotected family and friends, and they can't return to their past cities.
