The number of prisoners in male colonies in Russia in two months decreased by a record 23 thousand people, Russian media reported.
such a sharp reduction in the number of prisoners has never since 2010. At the same time, a decrease in the number of prisoners occurs against the background of recruiting fighters in the colonies conducted by the Wagner PMC.
At the beginning of August, almost 349 thousand prisoners were held in correctional colonies, but the beginning of November 325 thousand were left.
