The inmates who resist face horrifying consequences. Phones are confiscated, visits are denied. In the Siberian region of Kemerovo, Natalya, the mother of an inmate serving time for a drug offense, said her son held out for years before finally agreeing under duress. “He told me, ‘They twisted my arms until I cracked.’ Then he vanished.
