The author records the state and situation in the Russian prison for the period of 2022. The conditions of detention of prisoners, prison medicine, food, regime, the situation in the cells, visits, deportation and many other details from the life of detainees are described in her new book by the well-known human rights activist and journalist Eva Merkacheva.

Behind each page are human destinies not only of prisoners, but also of victims of their crimes and law enforcement officers. The author also writes about women's colonies, about the "red zones" where special services officers serve their time, about the famous jailers of famous pre-trial detention centers, about flagrant cases of abuse of power, about bullying and torture, about the selfless work of human rights activists trying to improve the conditions of prisoners, about the legendary Andrei Babushkin.

The book contains a lot of statistics, little-known facts and real stories.

The appendix to the main text is a unique short "guide" to Moscow prisons.
