VIDEO: Brittney Griner’s Explosive Tell-All to Cam Newton on Her Russian Prison Nightmare Over Cannabis Cartridges Is Going Viral
During a deep conversation with former NFL quarterback Cam Newton, Atlanta Dream center Brittney Griner opened up about her imprisonment in Russia.
In Feb. 2022, Brittney Griner was arrested at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow for carrying less than a gram of hash oil, which is illegal in Russia. Six months later, she was sentenced to nine years in prison.
But in Dec. 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden and reached an agreement on a prisoner swap with Russian authorities. Griner was allowed to return to the United States, with convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout sent back to Russia.
Griner opened up about her imprisonment overseas in an appearance on Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday” podcast. Griner noticed that
“I felt worse than a d*** stray dog. At least a stray dog get some food every now and again. Like get something. I didn’t feel like a human. Trying to be strong, I got a little Sudoku book that I had with me when they took me. So I’m writing in it, like I knew what day it was. So I would write the date and I would write a little something like how I’m feeling.”
Griner explained that there were feces and urine in the prison, and that she had cut up one of her shirts to use as a towel
