About 650,000 Russians are serving sentences in places of deprivation of liberty - according to this indicator, our country ranks second in the world after the United States. Despite this, the Russian penitentiary system remains rather closed: not much is known about the life of prisoners. RIA Novosti recorded a monologue of one of the prisoners - the author of the Podval Telegram channel, who wished to remain anonymous.

About the camp

I am still very young. An ordinary guy from a typical family, he studied engineering at a technical school, there was a year left. Almost as soon as the "opportunity" to go to prison on a strict regime appeared, I immediately "took advantage" of it. I am serving my sentence not far from Moscow. It doesn't matter what they call me - "prisoner", "convict", "prisoner". Nothing changes: as I sat, so I sit.

My story is one of indiscretion, even stupidity. She did not do without drugs. Almost half of the prisoners - with article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal acquisition, storage, transportation, manufacture, processing of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues." - Approx. ed.). No wonder it is called "folk". Instead of treating drug addicts, they are imprisoned for many years.

Camps are divided into "red" and "black". In the "Reds" power is in the hands of the administration: telephones and "free" things are allowed only to "close ones". Senseless violence is practiced there: for example, a sewer hatch is welded to scrap to make a kind of shovel, and they are sent to "catch snowflakes".

In the "blacks", in addition to the administration, there are "thieves". You can find everything: phones, game consoles, laptops, alcohol and even drugs. Our camp was like this for about five years. Most of the zone did not visit the dining room: every day they grilled kebabs, went anywhere, in a word, "ford-walk". There was also a separate hut where they made moonshine.

But after the change of leadership, "tightening the screws" began. Among the employees, everyone who once even had a suspended criminal record was fired. The riot police began to arrive. CCTV cameras were installed everywhere. Hand luggage is banned - transparent bags are issued. For alcohol, you can get to the isolation ward for 150 days, and for drugs - for 300 with the possibility of extending the term. We stopped walking alone and without a "wash" (razor blades).

About money and spending

Being in prison is not as cheap as it seems at first glance. First, the services of a lawyer: from 500 rubles to several million. Secondly, parcels and transfers: every two months - at least five thousand, excluding the cost of cigarettes. Thirdly, you need to pay for long dates. Fourth, spending on improving housing conditions.

Each prisoner has his own account in the accounting department, which "travels" along with the personal file. Pensions, salaries and transfers from friends and relatives come there, it is used for shopping at a local store and paying fines for violations. Restriction - nine and a half thousand rubles a month. Sometimes they pay for the services of a photographer to send pictures to their relatives: they usually shoot near the church, this is the most beautiful place in the camp.

In the barracks, there is constant spending on cleaning and tea, sweets and cigarettes for those sufferers who end up in quarantine, isolation or hospital. Therefore, it has its own "tax system": every month we donate money to a common bag, which is located in the "thieves" corner in each barracks. The amount is set individually in the first week. Usually it is a thousand rubles. About three thousand are taken from small drug dealers. Those who got caught for rape pay extra to not be touched.

There are also "voluntary-compulsory" fees: for the transport of prohibited items and for mobile communications from those who have a telephone - 500 rubles each.

Most of the transfers go through online wallets, which almost everyone has: a mobile number is enough. Cryptocurrency is not used - too complicated. Sometimes the sums are sent to prisons for especially dangerous criminals, for example, to the Vladimir Central.

The phone itself is a separate expense item. It gets in three ways: through employees, driving cars and "stuffing", therefore it costs twice as much as at large. The hunt for means of communication is always going on. For the phone, you can not only lose large sums from the Internet account linked to the number, but also end up in an isolation cell for 15 days and receive the status of a "malicious violator" - up to eight years of additional supervision.

About earnings

Honored by various craftsmen. Some prisoners need a rosary, backgammon, chess, pictures. Others - legal support in writing appeals and cassation complaints. The third is phone repair or charging. For all these services, prisoners are willing to pay each other. It is not customary to set fixed prices, and everyone thanks in their own way.

Some especially eloquent ones find “correspondence students” - girls who are ready to wait for them and transfer money to them. Keeping your attention when you're behind bars is a talent, so you can't say it's a mass phenomenon. There were also cases of marriages with new acquaintances in the zone. When two lonely hearts find each other, no fences can stop them.

A separate gold mine for the common fund is games. For each game they pay, regardless of winning or losing, about 15 rubles. Most often they play dice, cards and backgammon. Chess and backgammon are allowed, cards are not, but they are easy to hide. The lucky ones get on the unlucky ones with money, and their winnings can approach the six-figure sum.

I don't play myself: it's not mine. I earn in other ways: passive income from investments made is about ten thousand a month. Before the seizure of the phone, I tried to trade on Forex, but I did not have time to follow all the fundamental events and news and gave up. I can’t play on the exchange: either there is no necessary “free coin”, or the site slows down, or registration with a photo is needed.

Now I'm learning cryptocurrencies. I invest in interesting and long-term projects. I'm saving up for an airbag, which will do more good when I'm free. I don’t have income from blogging yet: readability is unstable.

About castes, time and escape

The only thing that is more or less preserved from prison stereotypes is caste. These are "thieves" (with privileges), "goats" (occupying administrative positions like a librarian and cooperating with the administration), "muzhiks" (ordinary prisoners), "wool" (service personnel) and "roosters" (lower caste).

Basically, they are all from dysfunctional families and godforsaken places where young people have nothing to do. In the absence of options to “break out into people,” they use alcohol and drugs, and this leads to sad consequences.

The main enemy in prison is time. His ideal "killer" is a phone with mobile Internet, a window to the big world. But after total checks, the phones were confiscated, and life in the barracks became monotonous.

About future

At the moment when they put handcuffs on my hands, it seemed that this was a misunderstanding, because this could not happen to me. All the plans for the future, which I was building a few minutes ago, have changed dramatically.

At first, I clung to the last threads: I expected that at the first trial they would be released on bail or house arrest. In the pre-trial detention center, I hoped that the judge's verdict would be in my favor, the maximum would be a suspended sentence. But, alas, there are practically no acquittals, and the article was heavy.

I got here through my own fault, for my stupidity. But once here, I found out what my real price is in the eyes of the environment without the "candy wrappers" in the form of a social position and a good job. I was left naked. Of all the relatives and friends, there are only a few people who are still worried about me and support me in every possible way. I don't know what I would do without them.

Most likely, I will not continue my studies. Firstly, with a criminal record they may not be taken back, and secondly, radio engineering is not mine. I want to work in information technology. If I can, I'll learn the basics right here in prison. Luckily, you still have access to the internet.

There is some kind of dark humor in this - in the “Stops” section, which is about interesting places and sights, publish a story about life in prison. Well, where else to put it, on the other hand? In their life journey, no one seeks to make such a stop, but many have to, and these are not only villains and bandits. Our interlocutor Alexei (name changed) is neither a thief nor a murderer, nor a rapist nor a swindler. A young Russian guy who, as it happened, has been serving a term in one of the Russian colonies on a strict regime for the fourth year already. About how he lives behind bars and whether there is any benefit from such a life, he told the “Passenger” - by the way, risking his own safety.

Connection with will, or 15 days for "VKontaktik"

Of course, we are forbidden to conduct correspondence on the network. If one of the employees finds out about this interview, I will be waiting for 15 days in the ShIZO (penaltyapprox. "Passenger" ) and a serious raid in order to pick up all the "extra". After all, we should not have access to the Internet and mobile communications at all. For calls, you can use the machine, now they are in every barracks - it's called Zonatelecom. You draw up a card (you can virtually from the outside, the main thing is to have a pincode) and call, but only those numbers that are indicated in the application are available, and it must first be certified. Plus letters and dates. You can use only these tools, but why, when there are phones and smartphones? Of course, the situation with mobile communication in camps around the country is different, but to one degree or another it is available everywhere. And this is not only a convenience, but also a business.

We are not obliged to keep under constant supervision 24 hours a day, no guards will be enough for this. This is possible when kept in cells, but not in camps. But mass events - trips to the dining room, divorce, etc. - are under the control of employees. In addition, they go around all the facilities (shops, detachments, any places of work) several times a day, plus they regularly conduct searches, planned and optional. So, when using the phone, you need to be alert. Ideally, watch the entrance through the window. In the detachments for this there are special people who, for cigarettes or something like that, “sit on the chip” all day long. When an employee approaches, you immediately hide the phone - not in your pocket, of course, but where it cannot be found in the event of a raid. For this, triggers are being prepared (caches -approx. "Passenger" ) in advance.

Life in the zone: expectations and reality

It's definitely not like in the movies. I myself thought that I would have to fight from the first day. When I was coming here, I mentally prepared myself, but it turned out that I didn’t need to. So far, he has seriously swung only once, the rest - in sports sparring. Oh, well, I also beat a rooster with a stick, but that's for the cause. Quite the opposite, you can't fight. Yes, it all depends on the situation, but there is a risk of running into a showdown with thieves - for lawlessness. Here, any measures must be justified and approved. When I had to fight, I was sure that the person would not go anywhere to endure it, everything was honest. And if you know that someone will go to thieves or garbage, it's better to just calm down. I generally do not like to resolve conflicts by force, but I confess that sometimes I want to when I get tired of everything and everyone. If the garbage finds out about the collision, they will not investigate, but, most likely, they will send both of them to the ShIZO, and who needs it? And it's not even about the conditions in the ShIZO, what's the difference, 15 days from the whole term is nothing. The reason is that this is recorded in the case, and many, including me, want to leave on parole, and such records do not help at all in this.

As for the thieves, they can give a few breams, or they can be seriously beaten, it happens. They pull you up to talk, and if the conversation doesn’t make any sense, then they simply stuff you with stools and arches from beds to fractures, etc. But this is for serious reasons. Those who pull drugs in illegal ways, say, through a transmission window, or barry without permission, or gamble and do not repay debts, are at risk.

If there is no sense in the conversation, then they simply clog with stools and arches from beds to fractures.

Concepts, of course, live, but they are needed to maintain internal order, otherwise there will be just chaos. If the actions do not have consequences, then the convicts will begin to substitute each other with their actions and complicate their lives. So there are snoops, and roosters (including "opened ones"), and rats - but these categories appeared long before the appearance of concepts and Russian prisons in general. Snoops usually either tend to “stick” to someone, behave like this all the time in life, or pay for their own stupidity - debts. Roosters are mostly rapists, pedophiles, perverts, everything is clear here. And than open hatred for them, let them clean the toilets and sweep the streets. There are those who are unlucky - they “extinguished”, that is, chifir with a rooster. Or they took a cigarette from him, or shook hands, or touched someone's penis, or in some other way. Well, it's your own fault, you have to keep an eye on such things. Rats and bitches choose their own path, and this should not be allowed to remain without consequences. And all this is determined here, in captivity. That is, no one traces your previous biography at large, and in prison you always have a chance to live like a human being (unless you are a pedophile). The rest is best left to yourself. For example, it's technically possible to fuck a cock, but I think that the desire to fuck another man in the ass is homosexual in itself, so I don't do it myself.

About the camp authorities

As for how they break about coming to the camp: now there is no such thing here. You either accept the rules and get settled, or, if you deny it, you end up in a ShIZO. Although this is nonsense compared to the past. They can, of course, give bream sometimes, but the employees are also updated, the old-school cruel bosses are leaving. In general, camps in this area were broken 6-7 years ago. Before that, there was an “acceptance” when they fucked right away so that they understood where they got into. But then the situation was different: drugs, booze, tracksuits for everyday life, everyone put a dick. With the new government, everything has become stricter in terms of the regime, but at the same time without tinnyness from the administration.

They address convicts mainly as you, although there are exceptions. Some are very serious about this and are always on you with the convicts, but these are isolated cases. The authorities (that is, the administration - majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels) are quite arrogant in relation to the majority of prisoners. And in general, they prefer to communicate with prisoners through the caretakers, and they often use this for their own purposes. Those who are lower in rank - the keymen (they are also security guards), some commanders of the detachments - they behave more simply. Here it’s how it will turn out, with everyone it’s different - with someone it’s just on you, but with someone it’s completely familiar. Over time, they have something like a professional deformation - they become like prisoners, only in uniform.

Occupational Deformation: Guards look like convicts, only in uniform.

About red and black zones. Roughly speaking, they differ in that on the Reds, the real power is in the hands of the garbage, and on the Blacks, the thieves determine the orders. My zone is red, that is, the main thing is to observe the regime or the laws of common sense. Although there are thieves here, and they have their own weight: they solve some conflicts between prisoners, they monitor the general game and the observance of unofficial laws and rules. Another thing is that they are all tied up with garbage and, if necessary, solve problems together, because both of them want to live in comfort.

About the camp hierarchy

Each facility in the zone has a responsible convict and a responsible officer. Formally, such convicts (goats, caretakers, hillocks) are not endowed with power, but in fact they have both privileges and power. They are closer to the staff than the rest, often communicate with the head of the colony and his deputies. In addition to bonuses, they bear responsibility and obligations, including financial ones. So, all repairs are carried out at the expense of convicts, the administration is not inclined to spend money on this. There were many scandals related to these things, I will not go into details ... And how the goat / supply manager / hillock will organize the work process and the financial flow is his concern. As well as the situation at the facility. I myself, although not a goat, invested in repairs at my jobs. It is simply necessary to do something, but you do something for yourself, for a more comfortable existence. For example, I perform in a club, play the guitar, we have a full-fledged team here, we have all the instruments, but where would these instruments and equipment come from? We brought everything ourselves or those who worked here before. Something from home, friends or relatives bought something. And if nothing is being repaired or brought in, then the administration will definitely notice this. And either directly indicate this to the supply manager, or simply remove him and put another one.

Day after day

A typical day depends on whether you work or not. If you sit all day in the detachment, then there is little variety: you go outside for checks, visit the canteen, sometimes a bathhouse, a library or a gym. The rest of the time - reading, sleeping, watching TV, sorting out relationships, playing games, hanging on the Internet, whoever is in what much. I work, so I don’t go to the detachment so much, mostly in the morning and in the evening. I live in lighter conditions of detention, I sleep on a single-tiered shkonar and not in a huge section, but in a small cabin with a TV. At 6 in the morning we were already standing with the whole detachment on the street - such exercises, or morning formation. Then the usual morning chores - wash up, go to breakfast or cook something for yourself in the food room (“kisharka”). Then - either a divorce and a job, or a morning check. My job is not dusty, I'm in the volunteer fire department. Sometimes training alarms, sometimes repairs, but mostly I go about my business: reading, sports, chess, etc. Plus - lunch and another check. In the evening, in the detachment, you can watch TV (I didn’t do it in the wild, but somehow it turns out by itself), but it’s better to watch something from a flash drive, if there is one. If I don't go to work, I spend time at the club: rehearsals or anything else: books, sports, coffee, stupid things. The choice is not so great.

Holidays in the zone are celebrated, but not too varied. On your birthday - chifir, tea, coffee and sweets. On New Year's Eve, the lights out are usually shifted, you can sit for up to an hour or two, make salads. Everything is almost as usual, only without alcohol and adventures, so there is nothing to talk about.

Notable events are, as a rule, someone's failures. Only yesterday someone strangled himself because of debts.

Accidents happen, but I don’t remember anything good. Notable events are, as a rule, someone's failures. Only yesterday someone strangled himself because of debts. This happens, in my memory they have already hung themselves a couple of times, all because of debts, usually gaming ones. People sit down to play, having no money to pay, but the excitement takes its toll. They jumped twice from a window on the third floor (there is simply no higher), but without a fatal outcome - they simply broke. One due to debts, the other, it seems, just a cap drip. One died of stomach cancer, was taken out of the zone just a few hours before death. Before that, they were taken out for treatment, but something was not treated right. Well, on trifles, it happens that goats get into trouble, this is also interesting, but only if you cook in this mess. Garbage also gets into such situations, key keeper was caught carrying and using drugs, with the resale of selected phones. The authorities get bigger, their own security is hunting for them. For example, they got stuck in the export of building materials, in fraud with batches of phones. Yes, and the head of the prison can be arrested, I think. Anyone has something. Sometimes convicts with drugs are also on fire. Usually they come across when they share with someone - everything is free.

Since this is a strict regime, they are sitting here mainly for the sale of drugs and murders (intentional and not). 10-15 percent - the rest of the articles, there are even a few bribe-takers. As for typical categories, I'm not sure, but I'll try to highlight a few.

Blue warrior - there are enough of them, these are those who killed someone in a fight or something like that on the blue bench. Nothing interesting, many people in our country can fall into this category sooner or later.

Old bandit - those who have been in prison for 10-20 years, and maybe not so long ago, but for the characteristic crimes of the nineties and zero years - murders, banditry, possession of weapons, kidnappings, etc. Many of them are interesting to talk to. In general, you somehow expect that a bandit can be immediately distinguished, but in reality everything is not so. Ordinary people, often even intelligent ones.

An ordinary Tajik - someone for robbery or murder, but mostly for manipulating heroin, this is their topic. Everyone, as a rule, did not know anything, they were asked to keep them or take them away, and other nonsense.

Best of all in prison for those who have been in prison since their youth and do not know another life.

A pensioner - old people are also sitting, they are trying to shove them into a bunch in one detachment, such as a nursing home for the disabled.

Drug addicts and hucksters can be conditionally divided into “old-school heroin addicts” and “pepsicol New Ageers”, well, that’s right, it’s easy to laugh. There are many people who are imprisoned for murder, but if they hadn't been imprisoned, someday they would have been imprisoned for drugs.

But - I repeat - in general, your article for the life here means nothing (if it is not rape). People are all different, and here everyone also behaves differently, which is why it is customary to look at actions, and not at the past.

Best of all in prison for those who have been in prison since their youth and do not particularly know another life. So there's really nothing to compare with. They develop all the necessary qualities for a successful life in prison - their own special morality, in which the one who achieves his goal by any means is at his best. And if we talk about the warehouse of character, then it would be best for a calm person who understands that there is no point in rushing anywhere. Too cheerful and sociable can quickly find comrades, or they can get into an uncomfortable position - say too much, fall for a provocation. Some are too nervous and worried, it is especially difficult for such people in the zone. Others see their emotions and add fuel to the fire, tease, purely for fun. But it is seriously difficult to communicate with such sufferers, because they are trying to explain all their worries to you, but who needs it? Here, everyone has their own problems. Aggressive characters also will not benefit from their character, conflicts have consequences. It is best to stay calm and act according to the situation, not to hope for a miracle, so as not to be upset. Certainly you should not think about justice, it should not be sought in prison. If you seek the truth in prison, you will be quickly besieged.

What are the convicts talking about

Everyone is talking about the same thing - who cares what, well, the news of the zone, of course, are discussed. As for give a damn - I'm not strong in it, somehow I live normally without it. So all the most common things come to mind: bunk, shlenka, dalnyak, office, rat. Fuck knows, I'm not too interested, and there is no strong need. For those who are interested, I recommend finding a dictionary, there are some, I read it myself. I remember being surprised at the existence of a verb that means “to jump out of a car on the move”, I don’t remember the word itself. It used to be a really separate language. Here is one more observation: already during the term, I often came across the word “zashkvar”, “zashkvarit” on the Internet, but in the zone or in the pre-trial detention center I never heard it at all, literally zero times. We use the word "quench" here. If something is extinguished, then no one, except for roosters, can touch this object, this is understandable.

I have never heard the words “zashkvar”, “zashkvarit” in the zone or in the pre-trial detention center.

Another stereotype about prison life is tattoos. Yes, it is. They beat, and they beat everything in a row, it all depends on the desire and on the skills. As for themes and plots - somewhere, maybe in a different way, but with us - hit whatever you want, within reason. The application technique is the same as in the wild, only home-made machines. It’s easy to do, I’ll assemble it myself without any problems: a motor (from a drive, for example), a body from a regular handle, a frame made of wood, aluminum or anything, a string, a power supply or a phone charger, an adjustable resistor (optional), a pair of rubber bands, glue . All this in our time is easy to collect even in the zone. Someone hits on the prison theme: rings, a game mess, icons. I met both SS and swastikas from those who previously “denied” (in my opinion, not the best idea for a tattoo), all sorts of inscriptions “goth mit uns”, “only God be my judge” - these are all classics. Someone beats whatever comes to mind - as if at will.

Is everything in prison true or myth?

You can often hear that money, drugs, and alcohol are quite affordable in the zone. In general, this is true, again depending on where. Money is not a problem now, before it had to be dragged in, hidden, but now all calculations are electronic - you start a qiwi wallet and that's it. If there is Internet, then you translate yourself, if not, you call home and ask to translate. There are also plenty of sharpeners, you need to cut them with something, naturally they swindle them, but it’s not that they are directly hunted, it seems that convicts don’t cut each other. They make alcohol themselves, they make mash, they make moonshine, I don’t do this, it’s too troublesome, and if they find it, I’ll have to go to the ShIZO, but I don’t want to drink that much. Drugs are not exactly there, rather they are. Sometimes someone gets involved with them, sometimes with hashish, sometimes with heroin. Not very often, these are personal initiatives, and moreover, they do not always add a deadline for this, although this also happens. But the risk is still not justified. I had a chance to get drunk during the term - several times with candies with THC from California, smoked Garika once and ate several nutmegs once. But I do not aspire to this, and the last time was a long time ago. This is not at all the same as in the wild. The environment here is, to put it mildly, gloomy and depressing, and when you are tipsy, paranoia and all that prevails. Well, fuck him, he didn’t get caught and that’s good.

How time has changed me

I have more time. I spend it on sports, self-development, reading. Plus, I box, learn languages, do music, even juggle a little, so I learned something, this is definitely a positive side. In terms of spiritual change, it's hard to say. Maybe I've calmed down. Perhaps now I care less about the opinions of others. It seems like I know what I want from life, and there are some plans, but it will all be clear when I am free. He must have become more patient. But it’s like with appearance - when you see yourself in the mirror every day, it’s not so easy to notice how you have changed in a few years, so I see myself and my thoughts every day, and it’s not for me to judge how I have changed or not.

And the fact that correctional colonies do not correct anyone is a fact, nothing is being done for this in our country, this is only punishment. Everything ultimately depends on you. If you want to change your life, then you will correct in yourself what you consider necessary, and if you are only able to complain about circumstances, then nothing will help you.

The word often used in criminal circles is "huckster". In this article, we will analyze this word in detail, give several options for definitions and consider the scope of its use.

Etymology

Presumably, the word comes from the Turkic "profit" or the Kyrgyz baryš ( trip, hike). And also some believe that it is somehow connected with the Russian word "gift".

The concept of "huckster" appeared in the criminal environment during the Soviet Union. Then hucksters were called people who were condemned for speculation. And in Soviet times, a speculator was called an entrepreneur who bought things and sold them for his own profit. That is, this is a person who uses circumstances for his own selfish purposes.

Historically, a huckster is a status that cannot be proud of. The word is negative.

Lexical meaning

The explanatory dictionary of Efremova says that a huckster is someone who buys and resells things. The word is also used as a swear word. Such an appeal does not imply a respectful and good attitude towards the interlocutor.

The meaning of the word "huckster" in the dictionary of Dahl Vladimir Ivanovich is interpreted simply and briefly. The meaning itself does not differ from the one we outlined above. A huckster is a person who is engaged in speculation (the definition of a speculator was given at the beginning of the article). In the same dictionary are also synonyms for the word: dealer, shuttle, huckster.

Often a huckster does his business not alone, there is a whole network for reselling, transporting, buying goods. If the things that the huckster sells have the status of illegal, or simply there is a criminal liability for the sale of such things, then the huckster is most likely covered by the people who are at the head of the pyramid and ensure the safety and security of the goods, and he is just "bottom " in this thread.

The use of the word in a criminal environment

In thieves' jargon, a huckster is a buyer of stolen goods. As a rule, this is a dishonest and greedy person. Today, the word refers to drug dealers. Or, if we are talking about places of deprivation of liberty, this is a person, a cellmate, who sells tea and cigarettes among "his own".
