Coronavirus changed the lives of not only men free, but also “bonded” – the Russian prison inmates and colonies. No joke, for more than a month without Dating, parcels and even work (in separate “zones” do not display in production shops). VIP-inmates in places not so remote, too depressed. We learned what happened with the White Drymanov, Ulyukaev and where has led the search for the “disappeared” of Dmitry Zakharchenko.
as of 4 may in a Moscow jail are 9 304 prisoners. It seems to be not so much compared to previous years, when the figure reached up to 12-13 thousand. But here’s the paradox: the Metropolitan courts were less likely to elect the most rigid preventive measure, rather the opposite. Then where is the “extra” prisoners?
As it turned out, they were sent on stage. Talking about hundreds, maybe thousands (no accurate statistics) and the so-called “apellations” – people, which the court issued a verdict, but they disagreed with him and wrote an appeal.
prior To the period of the pandemic they all with rare exceptions remained in jail. Now it seems to be good intentions (in Moscow, because most cases, so the risk of catching the virus is great), they will be transported. The problem is that some of them “brought” with him into the regions of the coronavirus. It happened, for example, with a stage from Moscow to Tula.
what follows we do not report about the taken – said the lawyer Anna Stavitskaya. Three days ago I accidentally found out that my client, businessman Ponomareva, awaiting an appeal was taken from prison 99/1 in an unknown direction. He has diabetes, also now against him is being investigated in a new case, so that it will have in any case to return to Moscow. So what’s the point to roll the person in the country during a pandemic? In what conditions are they moving him? I doubt that it is possible to fully observe the rules of isolation.
-Yes, and after the stage people are in another region, first in jail and then in to the colony, continued the lawyer Andrey Grivtsov. One of my client’s banker has suddenly taken to SIZO No. 1 in Vladimir (we found it a miracle). I was allowed to talk to him through the glass. He said that sitting in the basement where it is cold and damp, mold on the walls. Said, “And I’m hungry all the time.”
Another famous prisoner of this jail (popularly referred to as the “Kremlin Central”) Dmitry Zakharchenko family was looking for the last few days. He didn’t answer, didn’t call lawyers it is not allowed. Knowing him, no one doubted that he himself wrote dozens of complaints filed, not one word friends, but all this from the jail are gone. Why?
– We first decided that it was sent back to the colony, – said the lawyer Valery Tunikova. – Made noise, wrote a lot of queries. Finally, the investigator officially fromveil – Zakharchenko remains in the detention center 99/1, just his limited communication. Why limited is not clear. My treatment for this reason in different instances the answer is no.
in General, “the Kremlin Central” is the only detention centre in Moscow where not allowed lawyers. They believe it because there was a case of infection (or not even one), which is hiding. Even in “Lefortovo”, where you are suspected of espionage, treason, terrorism, etc., defenders may with difficulty, but held.
– masks, protective costumes and communicate through the glass in the visiting room, says Grivtsov (a former investigator for particularly important cases of the TFR). And jail until the appeals are not taken. Here the former head of the own security service of the RCDS Mikhail Maksimenko kept there. He became an absolute record for time spent in “Lefortovo”. Stoically endures. What to do?
Another defendant in the case about corruption in the leadership of SC – Alexander Drymanov also demonstrates courage. Sport and diet.
it is most Difficult in “Lefortovo” Karina Tsurkan – she’s strict vegetarian, eating only those that passed relatives. After the quarantine, all parcels is prohibited. So it is not clear – whether it is eating something?
We are very worried, says mom Inna-candidate of economic Sciences. – On top of that it was strictly the entire post. Before the quarantine, she ate nuts, fruits and vegetables that I passed her. Now, forced starvation is dangerous for the immune system. I really hope she eats at least the mess in the morning, spread. But I don’t know. 10 days ago, came from her last letter. I never said not to go to the post office (she asked about it).
Another famous prisoner “Lefortovo”, the former head of Volgograd Department of the TFR Michael Muzraev accused of terrorism behind bars draws strength in reading books of modern writers. The secret of his “Buddhist calm” is simple – faith. But all requests to speak to the Lama and to the quarantine remained unanswered, and after so even more so.
If to speak about Moscow jail in General, the situation with coronavirus not so sad. Only one prisoner was taken with a confirmed diagnosis in poor condition in the civil hospital (in there with him round the clock guards). Cases, according to various estimates, from 9 to 15 people.
the situation is Worse with the employees. And so, and others were ordered to keep the distance during intercourse, but it turns out not always. The idea to force prisoners as well as officers, wear a mask, floating in the FPS, is doomed to failure. First, as you can require these masks to buy (in the online store they are, for 40 rubles apiece)? Moreover, they need to be changed regularly, otherwise they have no meaning.
it would be Possible to distribute musk�� all the prisoners free, but, remember, almost 9.5 thousand. By the way, all Moscow prison mask sew, but this is clearly not enough.
– In the remand prison No. 6 started sewing protective suits of the type “Casper” – says a leading analyst of the FPS Anna Karetnikova. – In my opinion, very good quality.
these Suits are, apparently, designed for attorneys and investigators, who are in jail. How it is effective in the fight against coronavirus – time will tell.
but some prisoners complained that their walk two or three times a day. Most of these complaints were written to the prisoner by the name of cm. In UFSIN saying that the conclusion on walks every day – a necessary measure to catch dezynfytsyrovaly exercise yards.
all prisoners understand when they are in the horoshemu talk, explain that everything is done for their safety, says Karetnikau. – We have decreased the number of violations of the internal Regulations for the period of the pandemic. In solitary confinement people began to get less.
– Many prisoners are scared of the situation with the pandemic, their level of anxiety increased, – said the employee of the psychological service of the UFSIN (a surname asked not to specify). – They need our help, but we physically can not every to provide it.
According to “MK”, one of the psychologists was diagnosed with coronavirus.
the Situation in the colonies differs depending on the region.
Here, for example, Ryazan IR-5, where sits the ex-Governor Nikita Belykh. We will remind, one of the leaders diagnosed with the coronavirus since the convicts constantly pass the tests. White and even with him and talked the most. but not infected.
– is Everything okay with Nikita Yurievich, – said the employee of a colony. But it doesn’t work now. His whole unit is not output on the sewing production due to quarantine.
White is not complaining (I don’t think he was very fond of sewing). What does he do? Writes and reads from morning to night. Well enlightens all prisoners in the unit as he likes.
the ex-economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev, according to friends, things are not so rosy – it hurts. But FSIN officially stated that it is not. Perhaps close meant the exacerbation of chronic illnesses (he has many), which do not require hospitalization. Well one thing for sure – coronavirus had not, and given the advanced age he’s at risk. “Who can guarantee that he won’t get sick tomorrow?” – ask friends. By the way, they don’t understand why, given the ban dates can not provide video calling via Skype (as requested by members of the HRC).
– In General, it is impossible in one colony to do so, to abide by the rules of the race, says a member of the HRC Andrei Babushkin. – Take the daily build on the parade ground. It would be theoretically possible to withdraw people��not by groups, and offices and to place prisoners in a staggered manner. But then it could take hours. And the sleeping places are situated close to each other. The so-called local area people are always like sardines. In General, the only way to unload our places not so remote.
