that's going to take a good deal of time is likely to pass between an inmate's request for parole and his release first the county's administrative commission must consider his case even if they turn his request down he may take his appeal to court but that means he will have a much slimmer chance of being granted parole. the time has come for me to rethink my life and see where i'm headed. when i believe that all of reforms. will still that's what i've also rolls. russia's federal penitentiary service is the government body that oversees the country's prisons and colonies a year ago it most a program to resettle many of its inmates. one hundred fifty thousand convicts were relocated in line with a new law prohibiting fledgling inmates being housed together with hardened criminals and draft enough chevys serving a sentence in the colony for people with

a history of several crimes. this is a high security prison colony in the uro's two thousand kilometers east of moscow many of the inmates here a murderous rapists and drug dealers every one of them has fallen foul of the law on several occasions before they know only too well how things are run and cultivating. the show emotion oh you enter the building it's douglas around four hundred people around. you know what it's like. on face value this is just another colony but unlike others inmates here run their own theater this time in prison stossel decided to work on a new season with an allocation of notes from the house of the dead restored by

yes. people can be hardy creatures sure you're used to shoot to kill or death really very. you know i think the best the true definition of ownership is you. these modern day knights of given the roles of the nineteenth century convicts they do. there is a museum dedicated to dostoevsky in the city of homs where the right to serve his prison term exhibits their feats the life of convicts under the czarist regime on display as shackles overcoats and the means to his face is. just clear skin described as penal servitude as the most terrible years of his life. more than ten

million inmates serve sentences in gulag prison camps during stalin's for oppression many were forced into slave labor of construction sites like inmates including those who had been put that on political charges were made to mine minerals trees soviet prison colonies were built in faraway places harsh climates talking about inmates rice was to boot and that was his only since the end of the gulag system of reforms being possible. truck the first is to stop glorifying criminal culture repression he just stopped repeated offenses if the second step is to try and rehabilitate those who serve their time and return them to normal society. it is morning in the investigative isolation wards a few hours ago probably off was told he would be taken to a penal colony. shortly before he was due to go he decided to visit the horse
