Prison Guards In Russia Suffer From 'Moral Fatigue,' Official Says
The head of the Yaroslavl Prison Colony No 1. in Yaroslavl, Russia. The Russian investigative reporter who
exposed the brutality and prisoner abuse in this colony fled Russia last year in fear of her life.
In many ways, the current Russian penitentiary canvass is derived from the earlier Soviet Gulags even though Russian prison officials deny this. At the beginning of 2019, Russian officials admitted that at least one prison had female prisoners engaged as slave laborers working 17 hours a day. And counter to what Maksimenko says, with the strict rules currently in place, it is virtually impossible for a prisoner to physically attack prison guards. As a general rule, living conditions at pretrial detention facilities holding those awaiting trial in Russia are far worse than the living conditions in formal penitentiaries holding convicted prisoners serving their sentences.
