No previous prisoners from IK-2 were able to talk with Individuals for a meeting. “They are terrified,” Natalia Filimonova from the NGO Russia In a correctional facility told Individuals.

In past meetings or explanations, previous prisoners recount accounts of routine ruthlessness because of staff, absence of clinical consideration, ailing health and servitude like circumstances.
“I haven’t had the option to rest for quite a long time as a result of the injury of having invested energy there,” said previous detainee Tatiana Gavrilova, in a meeting with the free Russian news site Sota.Vision. “At the point when I previously arrived I was stripped bare and told to remove my cross.”
When she denied, saying she would die first, the camp chief advised her to get dressed and punched her toward the rear of the head.
“Everything went dark,” says Gavrilova, who was condemned to 16 years for the homicide of a harmful accomplice when she was 20 years of age. “I came to in binds attached to the radiator.
We were completely beaten. Assuming that you pass out they toss water over you and begin beating you once more.
A significant number of us died in light of the fact that there was no clinical assistance.” In similar meeting, another previous prisoner, Olga Shilyaeva, says: “they have their own regulations there.” She said the gatekeepers act with complete exemption and that the detainees have no privileges. “We were made to run all over in a circle in the passage… and duck under a stick at this [knee] level. Assuming you contact it, you’re beaten with it. The chief is a lunatic, he pummels you with mallet, boxing gloves, anything. We had around one self destruction a year.”
She proceeds to portray how, after she snapped back at one of the watchmen, the chief came in and expressed, ‘get kneeling down and ask pardoning.’ When she denied, he advised her to remain with her hands against the wall — a discipline large numbers of the prisoners review — and started beating her on the back with a metal bar until she imploded to her knees.
In 2017, the Russian paper Moskovksii Komsomolyets distributed a unique report on conditions in the IK-2 state, saying that detainees are compelled to work “from 7 a.m. to 12 PM and now and again until three AM.” They are not allowed to leave to go to the latrine, thus they “take containers and plastic packs with them, in which they assuage themselves without leaving their post.”
Tatyana Chepurina, another detainee at that point, found it hard to dominate the sewing machine as “had to work 22 hours every day, was not permitted to utilize the latrine or go to the bottle to eat,” Moskovskii Komsomolyets announced. “She was called an underachiever and beaten harshly. At night of that very day, Chepurina draped herself with her own headscarf.”
“She was extremely peaceful and kind,” Oksana Trufanova, a previous detainee who presented with Chepurina, writes in an open letter imparted to Individuals by Russia In a correctional facility.
Work conditions at the reformatory state are confined, Trufanova said. “We were made to work the entire hours of the evening… the top of the sewing studio would beat us with a board.
They can beat you for anything. They have enclosing gloves their storage spaces. Assuming you leave step while walking in the yard, they beat you.”
The food is basically unappetizing, Trufanova, who is presently a free common liberties legal counselor in Chelyabinsk, said.
“Each night we were given sharp, bad cabbage. Lunch was consistently pearl grain soup swimming with weevils. Some of the time there were a bigger number of weevils than grain.”

Another normal discipline is remaining external in winter without a coat, with arms loosened up before you, watched by a watchman from his room “until they became tired of watching us,” Trufanova says. “Gatekeepers would frequently open the window to the cell in short 20 temperatures laughingly saying ‘it’s a piece hot in here.’
We would move under our beddings to attempt to hold back from freezing.”Three mysterious previous prisoners who were shot for the free news site Zekovnet expressed that there is no equity in the settlement, and attempting to gripe was insufficient. “One new detainee, a little kid, told her mom everything during a visit, she was crying and shaking, and the mum went directly to the neighborhood [official] to grumble. He got the telephone to call the jail chief and that young lady was pummeled almost to death and at no point ever griped in the future.”
At the point when asked how lesbians are treated in jail, one detainee answered, “it doesn’t matter to them what direction you are as long as you do as your told.”
An ex-detainee who liked to stay mysterious told Moskovskii Komsomlyets: “Ladies in IK-2 don’t live, they make due.”
The state gets visits from the Russian Public Observing Commission (PMC), apparently set up to safeguard detainee’s basic freedoms, however as common liberties lobbyist Ivan Melnikov says: “they’re the sort of individuals who have a similar mindset as the people who work in the jail framework. They’re not free. They rationalize what’s going on there. That is the reason I left the PMC.”
When inquired as to whether he naturally suspected conditions may be further developing he answered: “I don’t believe it’s improving, I heard just that it’s [getting] more regrettable and more terrible. ” Melnikov is confident, however, that Griner will be alright at IK-2 — and that the potential detainee trade with Russia will work out.
“I figure they will treat Brittney with care since she is so popular,” he says. “They aren’t probably going to allow any conspicuous infringement [of the rules] with respect to her.”
