Russian prisons and possible innocence?

In the now pretty old documentary... Russia's toughest prisons....

Black dolphin has somebody that is convicted of killing a whole family and burning their bodies in the Forrest .

Ok...

The question that I have is...

Did he do it?

Because it sounds like many crime novels or even children's books.

And Russia isn't mister Justice and Due Process.

In fact its modern leaders are Soviet cold war leaders.

Putin just about OWNED the KGB...

he was the KGB.

How good they are is another story...

but in terms of experience within THEIR ranks...Russia is very well lead.

They're just the bad guy.

It's like Adolf Hitler leading Germany after Nazi Germany was defeated...

same concept.

That makes me wonder if the people locked up in Russia's prisons really did it.

  • Not necessarily, some of them are probably guilty, but not all of them. Just like not all people who were sent to prison in the Unites States are all guilty. If you do some research on the USA and its "justice system", you would find out that its very corrupt. But I guess Russia is more corrupt at the moment. If you are poor in Russia, and you piss off some rich and powerful person, you can be murdered. or maybe even framed.

    But the good news is, Russia currently doesn't have the death penalty like the United States, so no innocent person will be executed for something they didn't do. At least not in the near future.
