    Uzbek drug trafficker in Russia sentenced to strict regime penal colony

    Uzbek drug trafficker in Russia sentenced to strict regime penal colony

    Citizens of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan accused of drug trafficking in the Bryansk region of Russia were sentenced, Moskovsky Komsomoles reports.

    These two individuals were apprehended in May 2022 and were involved in drug trafficking within the Fokinsky and Bryansk districts of the Bryansk region. At the time of their arrest, more than 500 grams of heroin and 18 grams of methadone were found in their possession.

    Now the defendants have been sentenced as follows: one was sentenced to 10 years and 3 months in prison, and the second - to 8 years and 8 months. The Judge ordered that their sentences be served in a strict regime colony.

    At the end of May, in the city of Samara, Russia, citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan were also arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. One of them was found in possession of a drug wrapped in a white cloth and hidden in their mobile phones, photos of the delivery location were discovered. Upon further investigation, white substances were found at these locations. It was revealed that the suspects distributed heroin with a total weight of almost 310 grams. A criminal case has been initiated against those arrested and they are currently imprisoned.

    How does the Russian penal system work?

    The conditions of prisoners' sentences vary depending on the specific type of penal colony in Russia. There are four types of penal colonies, each with its own regime. In the least strict colonies, known as colonies-settlements, inmates have more freedom of movement within the facility. They are typically housed in large barracks, have the opportunity to leave the colony on passes frequently, meet with relatives, and wear civilian clothing. 

    In ordinary regime penal colonies, the level of supervision by guards is stricter. Inmates are housed in larger barracks with up to 150 beds, are constantly monitored, and have limited freedom to move around the facility. 

    In strict regime and special regime penal colonies, inmates face even greater restrictions. They are housed in locked cells, usually with 20-50 other prisoners. However, due to overcrowding, many colonies fail to meet the required standard of two square meters of space per inmate, as mandated by Russian law. It is important to note that this standard is only 50% of the standard set in the European Convention on Human Rights, which Russia has ratified.

    Penal systems like this one are found throughout the post-soviet nations.
