Is there a phone number associated with the account? How does GitHub want you to prove that you're you?

There is, but it's not a phone number I have access to anymore. I changed it to the said person's phone number before I surrendered so that this exact scenario did not happen. I trusted the wrong person.

This hits me hard. So you went to prison, and the person you trusted the most... turned out not to be trustworthy. Please hang in there and hope you meet (or have met already?) people you can rely on!

I'm very grateful for the many people in my life I can absolutely rely on.

Seems like you could present this evidence to the police for an identity theft charge against the "wrong person." Or you could threaten to do so, and perhaps regain your property.

You might want a lawyer's help to get that person to assist. Perhaps through an agreement not to sue for past wrongs, and maybe with a payment.
