A hunger strike by jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny cast a spotlight on the country’s prison system that critics say is built on fear and torment. Navalny was transferred Sunday, April 18, 2021 from his prison colony to a hospital in another prison amid reports about his declining health that drew international outrage. Nearly 520,000 inmates occupy Russia’s prison system - numerically by far the largest prison population in Europe. Most of the prisons are collective colonies, a system dating back to the Soviet Gulag era, with workshops and inmates sleeping in dormitories. (Photo by Ivan Sekretarev/AP Photo/File)
