Tedious manual work, poor hygiene and lack of access to medical care – such are the conditions awaiting US basketball star Brittney Griner in a Russian penal colony after she lost her appeal last week against a nine-year drug sentence

. It’s a world familiar to Maria Alyokhina, a member of feminist art ensemble Pussy Riot who spent nearly two years as an inmate for her part in a 2012 punk protest in a Moscow cathedral against President Vladimir Putin. The first thing to understand, Alyokhina said in an interview, is that a penal colony is no ordinary prison. “This is not a building with cells.

For example, they load sacks of flour for a prison bakery or unload mountains of coal,” she said. Prisoners could face punishment for inexplicable “offenses” such as placing a wristwatch on a bedside table. The ultimate sanction was solitary confinement, known as “the Vatican.” “Just as the Vatican is a state within a state, solitary confinement is a prison within a prison,” Yelena said. A gynecologist paid a monthly visit to her colony, where more than 800 women were imprisoned.

And?

Hopefully she will learn her lesson

Why are you suddenly worrying about prison conditions in moscovia? Don't remember you giving any 💩 about it before, 🤡s.

Heartbreaking 💔

It's the same situation in Japan, but in the case of Japan, only food and sanitary conditions are secured. Thank you very much. I believe that Ms Britney should be replaced by a diplomatic effort by the US government. God bless Britney. Thank you very much. Amen

Griner hated America, anyway. So what?🤷‍♂️

Compare that to all the people Joe Biden & Kamala Harris sent to jail in America when they were happily enforcing the most radical justice reform. Remember Biden’s outbursts about black people in Congress 🤔

Why does the media want us to feel sorry for her?

Griner's situation is exactly why you shouldn't burn bridges. United We Stand Divided We Fall, isn't just a saying or statement.

It's prison, not a holiday resort. Break the law and suffer the consequences

What about the 5 stars jails in the US?!🤔

Sorry for our star hope lord protects from all the darkness 🙏

Can’t be worse than a US prison
