Ten days in Spetsukha (exchange of experience)

Oleg Bogdanov, sent for ten days to participate in the rally in support of Nadezhda Savchenko, talks about life in a special reception.

Of course, this is a shock - the first time to get a day, and a dozen.

But you need to get together and figure out what “debts” remain in the wild - for work and not only - call, warn, ask to do for you. And then order yourself to bring the necessary things. They can first be taken from the court to the police department, because they can be brought to you there.

What is needed-slippers (so as not to go to the street in the camera, especially it strains in winter, waterproof-so as to go to the shower), a fabric towel (you can still be for the legs), change cowards-noski, specific tablets for yourself (if they are some kind of strong action, it is better to have a doctor’s prescription-from the head, from diarrhea, universal noshpa, consoles. In the nose, from heartburn. Take more universal drugs than just “for yourself” - you may need a cell neighbor. You can take a light soothing, even the same valerian - on occasion before going to bed, if it does not fall asleep. All tablets do not give on your hands, you will take the right amount every day.

Let them bring you a toothbrush with a paste, soap and shampoo will not interfere. The razor is issued on demand, lies in things. Take the charging to the phone. Even if you don’t smoke, take a bigger cigarette - the neighbors will be grateful to you.

Take a couple of books for reading.

Well, if you are brought free sportswear (without ropes!), In which you will be in the cell. In the smoking chamber, we had a window open all night, so I slept in outerwear under the blanket. And so the chambers are warm.

Do not forget that you will not have the most primitive things and you will not be able to get them, so it is better to make a list of necessary now and collect the package (taking into account the restrictions). Also now make a list of all important obligations by will and hand over to a friend who can resolve you.

If you have real chronic diseases that interfere with the premises in a specialist, take an extract from doctors to the action. As I understand it, many gastritis and ulcers, lawyers advise everyone to say this to the judge, and just your word for him already means (it is clear that in a political order our word does not mean anything at all!).

The description applies to specialsuha N2, judging by the reviews, in the first worse. Yes, and in the second it can depend on the shift, and judging by the experience from the outside, it also changes over time.

When decorating in Spetsukha, you can probably ask a non -smoking camera. They seize all things except permitted ones, necessarily belts, laces, as well as values, stitching, cutting. They are nicknamed the metal detector, including between the legs, so you will not be lusting.

Select the clock. But for example, I asked to leave the clock, and I was left my simple clock - to the surprise of the cellmates. What I was glad - and it was good to have at least one clock in the cell, because time it is not clear how - there are no landmarks - and I want to at least track it.

They accidentally missed the guy a cross on the chain and tried to pick up as a valuable thing during the morning check, and even with a chain. But he so opposed that they did not dare to take.

If you have non -removable ropes in the outer clothing, it will be taken away at the reception, although they missed me and took it later. For a walk, such outerwear will be given.

During the morning check, they periodically come with metal detectors so that it is not forbidden. Well, and so - do not leave medicines and lighters in sight - hold in pockets, otherwise they will take it away. If you transferred perishable in moderation - do not leave before checking, eat, at best you will be forced to eat as soon as possible, they will take it away at the worst.

It is better if you get into a large camera - there is where to walk (we had a hut for 9 people). Of course, in a large chamber there is more than a different night noise (for example, snoring, night conversations), but, on the other hand, it is easier to transfer to a large team to a measure of an inappropriate person. On the 1st floor there are cameras for a couple of people, patients are being moved there, but in the "loner" you will die from longing.

During the settlement, you take a mattress, a blanket, a sheet-nucleus from a capter. Take your time, check that everything is not torn and size (even rags in the cell are not enough and sometimes torn off for the household). Select the mattress even, stitched (can be hillocks in which the filling goes, as she wants).

Go into the camera, say hello, put the mattress on a free shk - it is better if there is a nested one. If the winter is not sure of the tolerance of the cold, maybe it’s better not very close to the window that opens (we opened two of the 3 windows, they usually opened what was not above the beds).

Then you will be able to exchange the skeleton for another, as it is released (so that there is no competition, publicly agree with the previous owner).

It’s inconvenient to sleep on the skeleton, for example, my knees were sick and could not get along, because it was tough. But soon you get used to it. Sleeping is not super, because who snores, who smokes at night, but, in general, try not to interfere. It is better to try not to sleep in the afternoon, otherwise it is more difficult to fall asleep at night (and after dinner, it pulls to take a nap, because there is nothing to take yourself).

Behave naturally, you do not need to show yourself a cool, however, botany too. It is better to call yourself and get acquainted with everyone, you can also briefly tell what they gave for a day for. Appeal to the group of neighbors on the camera - "men."

Food and cigarettes are common in the cell. Ask where to put food and cigarettes, offer to treat yourself and use it along with everyone (similar to the dachas). If you came without anything, ask for permission to take food or cigarettes from a common heap for permission.

After that, you can say that you have implemented and build relations with the team to the extent as you are more comfortable.

The camera ("hut") lives according to its own laws. Usually, if you show that you do not want to communicate, they do not bother you (we have one guy slept in a row for 4 days, just went out to eat).

Gradually fit into a rhythm. In the hut, there may be periodically excitement or, conversely, lull, adopt to this rhythm. Drop the stereotypes from the will against drunkards, thieves, “asocial” types - you live with them for days. Just build a relationship based on current communication. You can be sure that in general there people “in themselves” will not tell things to themselves, from which it will be different, and they will not raise ambiguous topics. Despite the fact that there will be part of not newcomers on days and even in the zone, but for most of them this situation is quite uncomfortable. So, in general, there is rather a relatively “positive” situation there, aimed more at joint survival.

In general, if you communicated in the male company in the army, hostel, etc. - then you will not see the fundamental differences of this company. I did not see the flanching of the Feni, except for standard household items and events with prison names. A guy with the phrase “great, lads” and similar salaries drove into our hut. They said to him: “Think of naturally, there is not a zone here,” - in general, everything was decided. Then an intelligent man drove in, who spoke too scientists of phrases, but the next day he got involved in the courtyard mother vocabulary;)

At first we had two past zone, then there were four. They did not deliver any particular discomfort. In some ways, on the contrary, one “camp” even encouraged everyone to maintain order, after all, this is a temporary house, and then poisoned stories about many camps he visited.

As often in the men's team-they can stem the shaggy: one man hardly counted-dumbfounded, the other at home he received a frying pan in the face from a prostitute, but then it calmed down.

Small problems were with new residents. He drove a drunk at night - he speaks loudly, and can hurt a thing, and carries from him to the whole hut (they usually bring a day of the aged, but if a person still fought with wheels ...).

The hardest things were the first two days to me (the ATS-Sud for the first day, the second day is already in Spechah), then you get used to 3 days, and then the remaining 5 went a flight.

The most difficult thing was to transfer complete idleness - this would have to be studied. At first I was surprised by an experienced convict, which for a long time lay on the shk, eyes in the ceiling. But after a while, many spent this time. Either you will look for a way to organize your idleness, or you will "burn."

As for the conversations - I tried to avoid those in the experience of communicating with non -activists in which a strong contradiction between activists and inhabitants - Ukraine, Crimea, LGBT, normal attitude to "bastards of pindos". Nevertheless, agitation has been carried out by moments: everyone hate corruption, officials, cops, the regime itself, which feeds these darmoists, but basically relate to Putin. On live examples, they talked about the elections and about the Olympics, about the cop banditry (well, many came from them). So one former ZK was especially thanking us for clarification. And Max and I (Chekanov, the second arrested ten days for the same action- OVD-info ) joked that they would regret that they gave us this site of agitation;)

For which, basically, they sat - drunken, driving without rights or intoxicated, were for violation of the “regime” - after liberation (from 22 to 6, he was supposed to be at home, or drug trafficking prohibits the use of drugs), non -payment of a fine, fine theft. But when a person says “they took it for being drunk right in the entrance”, you gradually begin to find out that he went a noise, broke something, quarreled. Although I have no doubt that the cops took and rather innocent.

Washing in the shower - once a week, environment. But you can always wash in parts in the washbasin (there is hot water). We had a guy who went through the camps, so he scored warm water into the eggplant and washed over the toilet so that water flocked there. They erased a trifle just by weight, which is larger, plugging the drain of the washbasin. Drying on batteries, the ropes, of course, could not be.

The food is quite normal. The volume in calories is adequate. Yes, you will see a small chipper in the meat, but the soup is likely to be liquid with a variable with the degree of liquid by the day, but in general everything was good taste. If you are given a beam-burning from your will-then in general;)

In the kitchen, we took liters of 6 boiling water in eggplant, wrapped in a blanket and could always brew tea during the day. Bread and sugar can be taken a little from dinner (usually it is better not in sight of the cops)

On the way to the canteen there is a “library” - a closet with books. You can take it to read, then return to its place. At first, books are not read very - stress, read the page, and do not remember what. Then I took dynamic detectives, it was easier for me to read when an abundance of action than experiences.

Walk on schedule up to 1 hour. But usually 2 cameras are displayed and as soon as someone was tired of walking, they started all together, because it was standard for 15–20 minutes. In general, in the yard, where only houses from some floor are visible, it is uninteresting to walk, especially in winter.

During the day, they are rarely twitched. Although the daily routine says - a rise of 6 and other obligations, it is actually regularly to go out only for morning verification. Plus, they also call for breakfast-lifting, a walk, call-but it is not necessary to respond to all these cases-you want to lie and stay in the cell.

The staff is mostly normal, is addressed quite politely, not to compare with the cops in the departments. It was somehow struck by “good morning, gentlemen, get up for breakfast”;) Sometimes they did not close the camera for dinner, therefore, eating, one could leave one at a time, and not the whole company.

The doctor comes once a day, can measure pressure, bring standard medicines, and if necessary made an injection.

The light turned on, turned off at the request-as we wanted, knocked on the door-asked-they did it.

With neighboring cameras with which we went for a walk and dinners, they maintained friendly relations - sometimes you can shout out the window (even ask to move the radio to the window to listen to the music together), pass cigarettes, backgammon, receiver (you knock on the door - the cop is suitable and can release to the neighbors).

Ask to give you the radio without information, and just music is dreary. Although in the early days I did not want any information from the will at all, because you can’t do anything, infa causes an excitement that does not have a way out in the cramped camera.

There are no sockets in the cell! For the radio you need more batteries, and can be recharged outside the camera once a day during the calls.

The date is now given only with relatives, so do not hesitate to say on the phone-“You are my cousin, you can ask for a date” (and a year ago they let friends, the three of us came to the brand (Halperin- OTD-info ) with Ildar (Dadin- ATS-info )).

There were interesting moments when they invented the antenna to the radio - they smelted a wire of plastic gaps of the loaf of bread. Когда не хватало сигарет, брали бычки, вытряхивали табачок, крутили козью ножку

Before going out not too necessary for you in the hut - brighten your life for colleagues in misfortune.

For me, the porot was stressful, such as how to smile, but addiction and generalization goes by the end of the term.

In general, life is also flowing there.
