Natan Sharansky spent 405 days in a punishment cell. This was considered “a kind of record,” he says. A punishment cell is small, cold, dark. You get three pieces of bread and three cups of water a day. You are completely isolated. “According to the experts, you’re supposed to go crazy after 15 days,” says Sharansky.
He fears that Alexei Navalny will break his record. “He definitely will,” on the current pace. Sharansky was in prison for nine years. Navalny has been in prison for only about two and a half years. And already he has spent almost 200 days in a punishment cell.
