Glushchenko noted that the colony is the only way to draw attention to any injustice. He added that the Boers were often transferred for ridiculous reasons, but not for real violations. For example, when the time comes to ask for parole, attacks to the prisoners are increasing: violations are considered to be unbuttoned a button or missing a greeting with the employee of a colony (shake it every time you meet).

In an interview with RTVi he said that human rights activists for several years received the “alarm bells” that inmates IR-15 suffer from abuse of authority on the part of prison officials. GU FSIN Irkutsk region positioned IR-15 as a colony with a very good behavior of the prisoners, which, according to Gromenkova, it is difficult to achieve without pressure.

“the New newspaper” referring to sources in Angarsk writes that IR-15 – not the red colony, where discipline and order are supported by the activists, and “black”, controlled by criminal authorities by tacit agreement with the administration. Prisoners ensure smooth operation of the industrial zone in exchange for concessions – cell phones, drugs and alcohol. According to the newspaper, the balance was broken after the employee IR beat “authoritative” the prisoner.
