Vladimir Putin is deploying soldiers to the front line in Ukraine from notorious Russian prisons with a fierce reputation
. Criminals from jails will bolster the ranks of the invading forces with the promise of almost £2,800 and their sentences scrapped if they comply.
Investigations into the jail tell of regular beatings by guards, psychological torment designed to break inmates and even sexual assaults. Inmates are said to be woken up by a 6am alarm call of the Russian national anthem. Medical assistance is also not on offer unless inmates are extremely ill. Navalny himself went on hunger strike in protest against the lack of medical care given to him after reporting back pain.
Located near the border with Kazakhstan, the jail contains Russia’s worst prisoners including cannibals and serial killers jailed for life, according to Mirror Online. Inmates are blindfolded when they walk around outside and are forced to crouch when they are walked out of their cells. The prisoner-soldier scheme is reportedly being run by the FSB, Russia’s state security services. A family member of one convict said prisoners were being asked to attack ‘Nazis’ in Ukraine, the false claim put forward by the Kremlin about the war in Ukraine.
