Somehow penal colony sounds worse than jail or prison.

Because it is. They're usually all about brutal hard labor in some remote corner of the country. Off in the wardens have absolute authority to do whatever they want, so this is way worse than just being sent to jail.

If she was Russian, she wouldn't serve 9 years. Experts said this punishment is extreme by Russias own legal system

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

She admitted to taking a banned substance with her. In her own words she said she made a mistake. Seems like admission of guilt to me. 9 years is wild though.

9 years of jail in general for having weed is a joke

9 years in a russian penal colony is disgusting

She would for trafficking, which is why the long sentence. It's not just for possession. Has nobody seen Locked Up Abroad?

Victim blaming? She tried sneaking weed into a hostile country with known harsh drug laws. There's no victim here and she has only herself to blame.

Who actually was she going to hurt with that?

It's completely ass backwards.
