Imprisoned American basketball star Brittney Griner has reportedly been taken to a penal colony in Mordovia, a Russian region roughly 300 miles southeast of Moscow, to serve her nine-year sentence on drug charges.
Griner has been moved to IK-2 in Yavas, one of several penal colonies in the region, according to Reuters.
The WNBA All-Star's legal team confirmed the report on Thursday afternoon.
'We can confirm that Brittney began serving her sentence at IK-2 in Mordovia,' read her attorneys' statement. 'We visited her early this week. Brittney is doing as well as could be expected and trying to stay strong as she adapts to a new environment. Considering that this is a very challenging period for her, there will be no further comments from us.'
A State Department Spokesperson declined to confirm the Reuters report earlier, telling DailyMail.com that Russia has refused to share any details with the US Embassy.
'We are aware of reports of her location, and in frequent contact with Ms. Griner's legal team,' a State Department spokesperson wrote in an email to DailyMail.com. 'However, the Russian Federation has still failed to provide any official notification for such a move of a US citizen, which we strongly protest. The Embassy has continued to press for more information about her transfer and current location.'
Griner was sentenced in August following her February arrest at an airport in Moscow, when Russian authorities say she was caught entering the country with vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. She had been at a detention center near Moscow until November 4, when she was moved to an undisclosed prison.
It has been two weeks since any information about her whereabouts have surfaced.

She was a high school star in Texas and played in championship level games several years.
I don’t think Texas was too “woke” 20 yrs ago to let guys play, but that’s just conjecture on my part.
She’ll never smoke another joint in all her life.

“On the other hand, she is a loudmouth female America-hating Colin Kaepernick.”
She was raised that way.
Back when I was a youngster, people like that were called “morphodites”.
That’s probably a banned term now, like Negro

Until Griner owns up, we may never know the truth. However, Griner’s lack of breasts (and breast scars), prominent Adam’s apple, masculine voice, & height (relative to family members) all hint at Griner’s DSD status. These can’t be due to testosterone abuse, for example.
“She is a human being “
No, she’s not.

“Griner’s sophomore year of high school, an email went out to all of the athletic directors in the district explaining they had a hermaphrodite at a school who wanted to play on the girl’s basketball team. If any coach or athletic director objected, she’d be barred from playing. No athletic director objected because who cares about women’s high school basketball? That player was Brittney Griner. A year or so after Griner left Baylor (she did not graduate), I happened to be talking to one of those athletic directors who was now in a different town and district and he told me the story.
All of a sudden, some of Griner’s social media posts (”I dunno why this prof looking at me when he talks about sexual reproduction, I don’t get dick, I give dick”) made sense.”
Did she even know it was there?”
Yes, she did. Stoners need their supply, and it’s no accident when their supply is in their possession. If there’s any silver lining in this for Brit, she’s undoubtedly learned by now that she can function without being high on weed. Though if Dementia Joe ever springs her she’ll probably bring her bong to the White House, a la Willie Nelson.

Do we know the entire truthful story about how much illegal narcotic she had on her person and luggage? Short answer is… we don’t!
No athletic director objected because who cares about women’s high school basketball?
“> She is a human being and I would not wish what she is going through on anyone. <”
Nobody “wished” it on her! She did it to her/him self.
Would YOU take an illegal substance to a foreign country?
To Alex Ratskin: Why should I gave a rat’s tail about Brittney Griner. She caused her problems. Let her live with the consequences.
Funny how Daily Mail, the site that glorifies Kim Kardashian, is still called Griner a “she.” The lowlife is busted and he will justly be punished.
LOL. Who is going to beat her and why? I guess she is going to he better off compared to the American prison.
I could give a rat’s patootie about HER prison, penal colony or whatever it is. If Daily Mail wants to investigate and highlight conditions that affect Americans it needs to start here in this country - in the DC Gulag where they’re keeping the uncharged “J6 prisoners.”
The Russians have been doing that kind of thing to people long before Ukraine was an issue. Blaming what is happening to Get ner on the Ukraine War on Ukraine ignores that history.
Bttt
I know there is not much sympathy for Griner on these pages, but damn, she does not deserve this. She did a dumb thing at the worst possible time, and is paying way beyond a “just” price for it.
