I hope Griner thinks about her terrible crimes when she's eating her stale bread and porridge every morning,
Griner’s first indication of the hardships ahead likely came when she arrived at her penal colony last month and had to surrender her civilian clothes and belongings in exchange for a prison uniform. Experts say prisoners can face discipline if they don’t button their uniform to the neck and wear a headscarf at all times.
Whereas Griner lived in a cell at her pre-trial detention center in the Moscow suburbs, inmates at IK-2 share a communal dormitory with up to 100 other women. Petty thieves sleep alongside drug offenders and murderers. First-time lawbreakers bunk next to hardened recidivists. None of the prisoners are allowed to display any personal items atop their bedside cabinets, not even pictures of their loved ones.
“It really struck me as an incredibly sterile, almost sad environment,” said University of Oxford professor Judith Pallot, whose current Gulag Echoes project is the culmination of nearly two decades of research on Russian prisons. “These colonies seem to eliminate the differences and the individuality of the women there.”
After IK-2 prisoners rise from their beds at 6 a.m. each morning, they sit down to a breakfast of stale bread and porridge and then begin a long day of forced labor. Most are required to make uniforms for the Russian police and armed forces, a tedious job made worse by the combination of high production quotas and decades-old Soviet-era sewing machines.
The shifts are long, the breaks are short and the rewards are meager, but women who complain often only make a brutal situation worse. Prison officials might punish them by sending them to solitary confinement cells, by restricting visits or phone calls with family or even by resorting to violence, Olga Podoplelova, a Moscow-based attorney for the human rights organization Russia Behind Bars, told

IF YOU'RE WOKE, YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM ENTERING 'BASILICO'S PASTA E VINO'!
THIS RULE WAS ALREADY UNDERSTOOD AT BASILICO'S, SO WHY ARE WE NOW MAKING IT OFFICIAL AND PUBLIC TODAY?
WE ARE FIRING BACK AT WOKE WEAKNESS, IN HONOR OF MARINE VETERAN PAUL WHELAN, A PRISONER STILL HELD IN RUSSIA, WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND TODAY BY TRAITOR 'ZOMBIE' JOE BIDEN, IN FAVOR OF RELEASING A WOKE, ANTI-AMERICAN, WORTHLESS BASKETBALL PLAYER WHO SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN BEHIND BARS HERE IN THE U.S. FOR TREASON.
WE ARE FIRING BACK TODAY AT WOKE WORSHIPPERS, LIKE 'Metzger Bar and Butchery’ @metzgerrva A RESTAURANT IN VIRGINIA THAT RECENTLY REFUSED TO SERVE CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE THEY DISLIKED THEIR RELIGIOUS VALUES AND POLITICAL BELIEFS.
Metzger’s OWNERSHIP CLAIMED THE GROUP FROM 'FAMILY FOUNDATION', A VIRGINIA BASED CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN ADVOCACY ORG, MADE THEM FEEL "UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE".
SO BEFORE OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN BUSINESSES OPERATED BY 'TINY TYRANTS IN TRAINING' LIKE THEM, BEGIN TO FEEL EMBOLDENED TO DO THE SAME - WE’RE HITTING BACK AGAIN IN DEFENSE OF OUR FELLOW AMERICAN PATRIOTS NOW, JUST LIKE WE DID WHEN BANNING MASKS, AND REQUIRING PROOF OF BEING UN-VACCINATED DURING THE LOCKDOWNS.
WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR THIS KIND OF WOKE VIRUS TO SPREAD.
IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF “WOKE”, YOU ARE NOW BANNED FROM ENTRY, BECAUSE YOUR MENTAL DISORDER HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
TAKE THAT! HOW DOES IT FEEL?
HEY Brittanny Anderson, Brad Hemp and Nathan Conway (metzger owners), AND ALL OF THOSE WHO SUPPORT AND IDENTIFY WITH THEIR RESTAURANT'S POLICY, WE DIDN'T PICK THIS FIGHT, YOU DID!
AS FOR ALL OF YOU VIRGINIANS WHO CALL YOURSELVES PATRIOTS, NEVER AGAIN PATRONIZE THAT PLACE.
ALSO SPORTS FANS, IF YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, REJECT THE LEAGUES WHO SEEK TO DESTROY IT.
DEFEND LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.
YOU'RE AMERICANS, ACT LIKE IT!

Russia Sentences U.S. Citizen To 14 Years In Prison For Marijuana He Says Was Prescribed
[IMG alt="Mark Fogel was detained in August 2021 upon his arrival with his wife in Moscow from New York."]https://gdb.rferl.org/08810000-0a00-0242-ebd7-08d9e19b14d7_w1023_r1_s.jpg[/IMG]
Mark Fogel was detained in August 2021 upon his arrival with his wife in Moscow from New York.
A former employee of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow has been handed a 14-year prison term in Russia for illegal drug trafficking after he was caught entering the country with medical marijuana he says was prescribed to him after back surgery.
A court in the town of Khimki near Moscow said on June 17 that U.S. citizen Marc Fogel, who works as a teacher at the Anglo-American School in the Russian capital, was sentenced the day before.
According to the court statement, Fogel, who was detained in August last year upon his arrival with his wife in Moscow from New York, pleaded guilty.
Fogel says he had medical papers explicitly showing the marijuana was prescribed by doctors and that it was solely for medical use.
Fogel was quoted at the time as saying that he had not known that medical marijuana was illegal in Russia. His lawyers said then that Russian authorities had found 17 grams of marijuana in his possession.
U.S. officials have yet to comment on Fogel's sentencing.
Fogel is one of several Americans incarcerated in Russia in recent years on charges that their families, supporters, and in some cases the U.S. government, have said appear trumped up.
Former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan was sentenced by a court in Moscow to 16 years in prison in May 2020 on espionage charges condemned by the United States as a "mockery of justice."
Another former U.S. Marine, Trevor Reed, was sentenced to nine years in prison in July 2020 after being arrested and charged with assaulting two Russian police officers in 2019, which he denied. He was released in a prisoner swap in April.
Another American whose detention by Russian authorities has drawn criticism is basketball star Brittney Griner. She was arrested in February at a Moscow airport after the authorities said a scan of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing hash oil.
Griner, who played for a Russian professional basketball team, could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted on illegal drug charges. She has pleaded not guilty and the United States has designated her as "wrongfully detained."
