American basketball player Brittney Griner has started serving her sentence
at a remote Russian penal colony. Griner has been sent to the IK-2 penal colony in Mordovia, also known as the Russian “land of prisons”. The IK stands for a “corrective colony”, the most common type of prison in Russia. Human rights experts were surprised that of all the 36 women colonies in Russia, Griner was sent to Mordavia. The double Olympic gold medalist was handed nine years in prison in August for drug possession. She was also charged for drug trafficking over possessing vape cartridges with a small quantity of cannabis oil.
