Prison people. The fault is guilty

Prison people*. The fault is guilty. For the next years, we, apparently, have to live in a police and bureaucratic state, where a corrupt bureaucracy is a sovereign master. Indifferent and impudent. Today I will talk about the fate of two people who fell into her hands, as usual, changing the names and details
* Continuation. Start - in The New Times No. 27 , 29 and 35 , 2011

With a conventional clang, the camera door opens, and a low, chubby little man with unexpectedly long, slightly curly hair arises on the threshold.
“Hello everyone,” he says and, limping greatly, goes to a free bunk.
A young guy from the lower tier, taking a deep breath, gets up to change places.
“Nothing, nothing,” says the little man, and, helping himself with a poorly bending foot, habitually climbs upstairs to lay out things.
Volodya
After several minutes, according to the traditions provided by the beginner, to look slightly, cautious questions begin, which are already continued on tea. It turns out that a little man, let's call him Volodya, for several years in prisons and his articles are the most ordinary.
Volodya turned out to be a guy easy to communicate, of those who, working in business, specialize in establishing contacts. Business intermediary. Actually, this was what he was doing to prison.
Four years ago, “taking advantage of the knowledge of the specifics of banking operations” (so in his business), he withdrew half a million dollars from the account of one employee of the power structure, believing that he would not sue, since the money is clearly “left”.
And here Volodya miscalculated - the bank gave the client everything to a penny, and filed an application. Volodya sat down.
Actually, this part of the story did not grieve him very much. Yes, I took the opportunity, yes, I miscalculated, yes, they condemned without evidence, but for business. Dali is much (8 years old), but what can you do.
Having received the verdict and having left for the colony, he began to make plans for the future. Two more years have passed, and taking into account the prison term, the time has come. And here, Volodya says, the order comes to transfer him to Moscow.
-I broke my head and eventually decided that they were going to hang on me “to the heap” of someone else's banking fraud.
The reality was stronger than the most daring assumptions. The investigator stated that he, Volodya, scored another prisoner in prison two years ago in prison.
My neighbors and I looked at each other and at a small, lame Volodya with some kind of perplexity. Then he, already familiar to such distrust, took out his business. Despite my own processing process, I could not resist and read it entirely. There it was another human tragedy. As terrible as Magnitsky’s matter, and as ordinary for Russian prison.
The price of life
The case talked about a man of 45 years old, who was in prison due to a bottle of wine. An ordinary person - drank, not enough, no money, went into a supermarket and grabbed a bottle from a shelf along a drunken fool. As a sin, it turned out to be expensive wine, accidentally hit the open regiment. The man was stopped at the checkout, then they called the police and, since the price of the bottle was more than 2.5 thousand rubles, sent to the pre -trial detention center *** The New Times wrote about this story in the material of Zoe's Light “Life - Zero”, No. 25 of August 15, 2011, after the publication, the verdict in the case was canceled, a second consideration in the Tver court of Moscow was scheduled for November 30 ..
In prison, he was grabbed by an old ulcer, he was transferred to a prison medical center, where he lay a couple of weeks. Then they transferred to another pre -trial detention center, also to a prison hospital. There, a week later they found that he had 19 ribs broken. And a week later he died from damage to the spleen.
As a result, the cost of a damn bottle was human life.
The fault is guilty
What does Volodya have to do with it?
He was in the same hospital as the dead man. But in the first prison!
The prison hospital (for those who, fortunately, do not know this) - the same prison, the same cameras, and if you are in the same cell, then you will only know about the neighbors from another by prison correspondence. That man and our new neighbor never met - here all the doctors and overseers are one. But much worse than another. It is written in the case that Volodya broke the man with 19 ribs with two fists. Anyone engaged in boxing or karate will say this is impossible. But it is possible to break the ribs, trodden with heavy special forces on a ill-lying prisoner on the floor, who was indignant at something.
It is impossible to transfer a person with such beatings from one pre -trial detention center to another, and even from the hospital to the hospital, so that no one will notice anything. But, as it turned out, it is very even possible to record the incident after another pre -trial detention center and thereby completely confuse ends.
The case “hung” for almost two years, and then it came together - a request not to release a specific person and the old “hanging”.
Further - the technique: two seasoned criminals are being taken, one sitting with the killed, the other from the neighboring chamber, they easily explain the options (either they “load” whom they will be told, or ...).
And now one “saw”, and the other “heard”. Everything, enough. To court!
The judge “does not trust” the testimonies of doctors, inspectors, records of the transfer magazines from the camera to the camera. He does not trust the records and testimony of doctors that a person was transferred to another pre -trial detention center without such wild beatings. But he trusts the one who “saw”, and to the one who “heard”. They were specially delivered from the colony. Everything, verdict.
A matter of conscience
In recent days, Volodya had a very serious condition. The trackers convinced - admit the guilt, add a little. You do not admit - we will give in full.
He consulted with me. I confirmed: what they say is real. Further is the matter of your conscience. And Volodya refused to plead guilty. He said to me: I won’t be able to look into the eyes of friends, family later.
My process ended, and I learned about the end of his business already in Karelia. It was predictable.

Do you think that nothing like this can happen to you? You do not steal in the supermarket and do not withdraw money from the bills of police officers? In the history of our country, many thought so, and then it turned out that they just had a very good apartment, which a neighbor-presenter liked.
When people can be clogged with your feet, when the court is ready to cover crimes and condemn innocent, decent behavior is not too convincing protection.
