What prisoner did the Romans release as an act of good faith during passover?

During Passover, the Romans traditionally released a prisoner as an act of goodwill, a custom highlighted in the New Testament. According to the Gospels, they offered to release Barabbas, a notorious criminal, at the request of the crowd, who ultimately chose him over Jesus. This event underscores the political and social tensions of the time, as well as the role of the crowd in Jesus' condemnation.
