?Wake Up Who*es?: Terrorizing 3 Words Brittney Griner Could Be Subjected to, Revealed

Brittney Griner is set to face some terrible conditions when she reaches the undisclosed Russian penal colony allotted for her. The WNBA star is currently in exile in Russia for nearly nine months. She is currently being transferred to a penal colony. Her location is still uncertain to her family and US authorities. Recently, a member of the Russian feminist protest group Pussy Riot revealed three terrorizing words that Griner could be subjected to every day in her prison colony.

Nadya Tolokonnikova spent nearly two years in a penal colony due to her activism against Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin in 2012. She witnessed the atrocities inside the penal colonies first-hand. As a result, she warned Griner of the harsh conditions she might face in prison. Tolokonnikova also gave some insight into the condition Brittney Griner might face inside the penal colony, in a recent interview.

Earlier this year, airport authorities seized cannabis oil in Griner’s belongings in a Moscow airport. Subsequently, she received a nine-year prison sentence under drug possession and smuggling charges. Last month, a Russian court denied her appeal for leniency. Therefore, Griner is now being moved to an infamous penal colony, reminiscent of the Soviet Union’s Gulag system, either in Siberia or far east Russia.

Brittney Griner could face verbal abuse in Russian prison colonies

During a recent CNN interview, Tolokonnikova revealed BG could be forced to work in labor camps for 16 hours a day, sewing police uniforms. She also warned Brittney Griner about witnessing the deaths of other inmates. Deaths are common in such places due to harsh physical labor and lack of appropriate medical facilities.

Moreover, the Pussy Riot member reckoned that Griner might be subjected to some humiliating words from the prison guards. She suggested that the prison guards in penal colonies wake up the inmates each morning using three abusive words in Russian. When translated to English, the three words mean, “Get up, who*es” or “Wake up wh**es.”

Moreover, the 33-year-old said that Brittney Griner might also face psychological torture. The guards often use mind games to keep the inmates from staying united.

Griner’s sexuality might cause her problems

Nayda Tolokonnikova further disclosed that Griner’s sexuality could also be a major problem for her in a Russian prison. Tolokonnikova said, “Also Brittney’s queerness can be another reason why prison guards might make fun of her or ridicule her for who she is.”
