Let me tell you a cool story about prison psychology and character training. The prison and the inmates are governed by many factors, but the three main ones are: 1) threats to kill/beat/rape someone; 2) tobacco; 3) food. The latter is applied as widely as possible. It is a simple and very effective method. A convict (a young male in 90% of cases) is always hungry. Rations are scarce and often inedible. That's why almost nobody relies on them. There's a pison kiosk, parcels and paid food - everyone gets by somehow, and access to extra food is a great lever for the administration If you're in the SHIZO, everything is forbidden. You have no other options but to starve. If you are in the PKT, you can buy food for 5,000 rubles a month. According to the law, you can also spend your salary and buy ready-made food from the canteen without any limit on the amount. However, all this no longer applies to me, no laws apply to me anymore. They just said: "5,000 rubles a month, and that's it". So, what can I do? I take a piece of paper and start counting. I gotta put 1,000 rubles aside for soap, razors and all sorts of hygiene supplies. Then I divide the remaining 4,000 by 31 days. That's 129 rubles a day for food. That's enough to buy two boiled eggs and a few boiled potatoes (or boiled rice on the weekends) from the canteen. I can't afford buckwheat though. But for me, even this is just a grand improvement in the quality of food. Give me a hard-boiled egg to put in my broth and I'll feel like I'm in a Michelin restaurant. And then there's this delightful trick. They'd make me buy food for the whole month in advance. But what should you do if you spend half of that month in the SHIZO where everything is forbidden? There used to be a rule about that: if a convict couldn't get the food he had bought (for example, if he was absent due to receiving a long visit), then he would write an application so they wouldn't cook it for him. I also used to get refunds for the days I spent in the SHIZO. But then the Federal Penitentiary Service took offence at the fact that we revealed how they were stealing money on food procurements, and came up with an ingenious idea. Under the new rules, those in the SHIZO are still supposed to receive food, but they are not given it. They just show you the food and then throw it away because it has expired. Here's how it happens. The cell door opens. A cop with a bag says: "Navalny, here is the food you bought. Sign here for the hard-boiled eggs. We're throwing them out, they're expired. There's also potatoes and rice here for you. We'll dispose of them. They'll go bad tomorrow. Oh! Is that a bun? Did you buy it for some kind of holiday? You really live in style. Sign here for the bun and here for its disposal. It's perishable food, after all!" Hats off to whoever came up with that. You don't just spend all your money and get nothing, they also make you look at the food you didn't get. First you get indignant and appeal to the law, then you appeal to the cops' conscience, then you yell at them. But then your character hardens and you realise the wisdom of prison concepts that condemn excessive interest in food (it's called gut-whoring here). And so, you just say to your jailers with the most indifferent look possible, "Alright, where do I sign for you to eat my potatoes?" I'm still hungry though 😀
