From the Paper:

"Although Russia had made noticeable progress in human rights over the past few years, it must do more to improve prison conditions. Human rights are violated from the time of interrogation, to pre-trial detainment, to the time of post-trial detainment. The immense size of the Russian prison population and the lack of adequate funding from the Russian government lead to all sorts of horrible conditions in prisons. Devastating overcrowding, rampant spread of diseases, lack of medical treatment, lack of adequate nutrition and exercise, and horrible physical abuse are just some of the problems that the Russian government needs to work on."
