In Russia, a jail is typically called a "тюрьма" (tyur'ma). This word translates directly to "prison" in English. However, there are other terms used depending on the specific type of detention facility:
- "СИЗО" (SIZO) stands for "Следственный изолятор" (Sledstvennyy izolyator), which translates to "Investigative Isolator." This is a pre-trial detention facility where suspects are held before trial.
- "ИК" (IK) stands for "Исправительная колония" (Ispravitel'naya koloniya), which translates to "Correctional Colony." This is a penal colony where convicted criminals serve their sentences.
- "ФКУ" (FKU) stands for "Федеральное казенное учреждение" (Federal Kazennoe Uchrezhdenie), which translates to "Federal Budgetary Institution." This is a general term used for various types of detention facilities, including prisons, colonies, and detention centers.
It's important to note that the specific terminology and types of detention facilities in Russia can be complex and vary depending on the region and purpose of the facility.
