Brittney Griner Facing Racism & Homophobia As She Works 16-Hour Days In A Russian Prison

Brittney Griner is reportedly facing horrific conditions as she serves her prison sentence in an environment that includes homophobia, racism, and 16-hour work days.

As previously reported, WNBA star Brittney Griner, 32, was transferred to a Female Penal Colony in the Russian region of Mordovia where she will be serving a nine-year sentence for traveling into Russia with vape cartridges containing less than a gram of cannabis oil. According to reports, prisoners in Mordovia are barely treated like humans.

Reportedly, bigotry is common, medical care is nearly nonexistent, and inmates are expected to sew the uniforms for police and guards. It’s also unclear if Griner will get the proper accommodations and receive a bed that will fit her 6-foot-8 frame.
