According to a report from The Nation (via TMZ), the conditions Griner will be facing at the penal colony in Yavas - about 270 miles southeast of Moscow in the federal subject of Mordovia - will be almost inhumane.

Conditions there have been referred to as 'slavery-like' by those who have served time there before - with medical care almost non-existent and 16-hour work days.

Beyond that, Griner is expected to face racist and homophobic environments from guards and even other prisoners.



Even when she's away from the constant work, there is no bed that can support the six-foot-eight basketball player.

One infamous women's facility in Mordovia, IK-14, is located just seven minutes from Yavas.

The notorious penal colony is known as a rat-infested sweatshop for prisoners, some of whom have lost fingers during long hours at their sewing machines. To deal with the rat population, the guards enlisted stray cats, which were later discarded into furnaces to keep their numbers down, according to a 2019 Radio Free Europe report.
