Yevgeny Prigozhin has been touring Russian prisons in an increasingly desperate bid to recruit more soldiers to send into Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The Wagner supremo is now accused of using \u201cpressure\u201d to recruit raped and abused prisoners from Russia\u2019s penal colonies to join the mercenary group\u2019s frontline fighting units where they are being slaughtered with little training and poor equipment.<\/p>\n

Russian prison observers said that \u2018The Shamed\u2019 are being recruited by Wagner\u2014Putin\u2019s private army\u2014as cannon-fodder who rarely survive long in \u201cPrigozhin\u2019s meat grinder.\u201d In an audio message, a convict in the IK-7 prison colony in Novgorod says his recruited friends were \u201cthrown into the battle\u201d after just one week of training.<\/p>\n

Both prison administrators and other convicts use the label to sexually abuse or urinate on weaker prisoners, who are made to tackle the worst jobs like cleaning the toilets and are treated as though they are contagious outcasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrisoners in the Wagner mercenary army have no chance to survive, \u2018The Shamed\u2019 are dying as if they are pushed through a meat grinder,\u201d says Olga Romanova, the founder of the Russia Behind Bars group of independent prison observers.<\/p>\n

According to Russia Behind the Bars, Prigohin has recruited over 6,000 prisoners to fight in Ukraine promising them amnesty and a monthly salary from $1,500 to $3,000 a month.<\/p>\n
