*WNBA star Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for at least 9 months and is at least 2 months into her lengthy 9-year sentence. She was recently moved to Mordovia, a prison city in Russia, and has not been seen or heard of from her camp since the move.
The Nation’s reporter Dave Zirin has investigated the community Brittney has moved to, and the details are very distributing.
Zirin says that bigotry and homophobia are very common practices in Mordovia, just cruel overall. Zirin claims he wouldn’t be surprised if Griner didn’t even have a bed that should fit her 6’8 frame. Zirin also spoke with a former prisoner of Mordovia, and they claimed it was like hell on Earth.
Whoopings and beatings are common and most prisoners are expected to work 16 hours a day with barely any breaks. It can also get freezing cold in Mordovia year-round. The worse part of all of this is Brittney’s true state is not even known to her family or the public. She could be suffering greatly and we wouldn’t even know. This is all really terrible.
