Prisoners staged a pogrom in correctional colony No. 4 in the city of Pugachev in the Saratov region, where the “Skopinsky maniac” was imprisoned, the press service of the regional department of the Federal Penitentiary Service reported on March 7. “A malicious violator of the established procedure for serving a sentence - has 54 penalties - and kept in a detachment with strict conditions for serving a sentence, in a demonstrative and blackmailing manner, refused to comply with the legal demands of the employees of the administration of the institution,” the press service of the FSIN reported to RIA Novosti. The actions of the convict were supported by several prisoners. They broke windows and cut-off doors in the detachment. The press service said that the correctional colony staff demanded that the prisoner give up a “prohibited item” that he had in his possession. When he refused, they used physical force. The colony is now operating as normal, and the administration has begun assessing material damage. Correctional Colony No. 4 became the focus of media attention in March 2021, when the “Skopinsky maniac” Viktor Mokhov was released. He was serving a 17-year sentence for the kidnapping and rape of two girls. Mokhov was again put on trial for a murder in his home in August 2022. The “Skopinsky maniac” was suspected of concealing a particularly serious crime that had not been promised in advance. The criminal received the nickname “Skopinsky maniac” for the kidnapping of two girls, 14 and 17 years old, in Ryazan. Mokhov kept them in the basement of an outbuilding near his house in Skopin for almost four years. As Regnum reported, in December 2023, 22 defendants staged a riot in the Sochi temporary detention center, not wanting to go to Armavir on the eve of the New Year holidays. 47 people were being prepared to be sent to a pre-trial detention center. They began making noise and banging on food distribution windows when they tried to force them out. As a result, the prisoners broke several windows and four people were injured. In the fall of 2021, mass riots occurred in correctional colony No. 1 in Vladikavkaz. The prisoners, as a sign of solidarity with the convicts placed in the punishment cell, staged a pogrom. About 200 people took part in the riots. They disabled video cameras and broke fences and furniture. The riot was resolved and no one was hurt. |
