Brittney Griner Details Just How Bad Russian Prisons Really Are

WNBA star Brittney Griner on Wednesday recounted her time in a Russian prison for most of 2022, describing cold, moldy conditions and having to use toothpaste that had expired around the time George W. Bush left office.

In a 20/20 interview with Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts ahead of the release of her memoir, Coming Home, Griner said it was a “mental lapse” that led to her detainment for bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil into the country, which is illegal.
