Brittney Griner is being transferred to a Russian penal colony, her lawyers revealed. The conditions are grim. 'For 100 women, there are like three toilets and no hot water,' a Pussy Riot member told NPR. 'This is a legal slavery system.'
"Of course it has a bit better conditions than [the] original gulag system from the 1950s," says Alyokhina, reached by NPR on tour in the United Kingdom."But the sense is the same. It is a labor camp."
Aloykhina says while most Americans imagine prison cells with bars, Griner can expect to live in"the zone" — a set of barracks with 80 to 100 women sleeping to a room and few, if any, amenities. "For 100 women, there are like three toilets and no hot water," says Alyokhina. Bathing is a once-a-week occurrence."This is a really terrible institution which we received from [the] Soviet Union and it's totally inhuman. The cynical thing is, the work the state provides to the prisoners is sewing uniforms for Russian police and the Russian army," she says.

In the meantime, the president has tasked his administration to"prevail on her Russian captors to improve her treatment and the conditions she may be forced to endure in a penal colony," according
