Despite Russia confirming it’s in talks with the US regarding a possible prisoner swap in exchange for Griner and another American prisoner, Paul Whelan, While most prisoners work eight hours a day cooking, serving, cleaning, doing laundry, etc., Griner might be able to do what she loves because of her special skills.
Griner coaching basketball to inmates isn’t too much of a stretch considering Russian soccer players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamayev taught their profession while they served out sentences in one of the colonies.
“I hope that she will be sent to a colony with a lenient governor who allows her to coach basketball in the daytime rather than being a seamstress,” Ivan Melnikov, the vice president of the Russian Department of the International Human Rights Defense Committee There are reportedly 35 women’s penal colonies spread across Russia, but the name of Griner’s colony has not been released. Regardless, it will be up to the prison governor to decide whether the basketball star can coach.
Despite not knowing Griner’s exact location, Melnikov said all of the colonies are similar when it comes to space.
According to him, the prison cells are about 11 feet of private space, which isn’t much when 40 to 60 women allegedly sleep in bunk beds inside the same cell.
Melnikov ensured that Griner will be able to escape her shared cell.
