Visiting day is on Tuesday.

As soon as they shout your name in the morning from the main door,

they tell you “ So- and- so,

son of so- and- so,” you answer,“ Did not come five.”

Then they tell you,“ Get ready for the visit.”

The phrase“ get ready for visits” means you have to come here and stand.

Four tiles before the door.

As soon as he comes to open the door,

this prayer– bowing position has become completely known in Sednaya like this.

He comes up, opens the door, and you have to step out, yeah, like this.

You stop here. Also, in this position, you are not allowed to look right or left.

When the order comes, he tells you,“ Sit.”

You sit. They search us in our pockets,

to make sure we have not taken a letter to give to any of the prisoners,

any of our friends. They search, and then we all walk, one behind the other.

We walk with our hands bound and we walk, yeah, like this,

in the prostration position.

Oh God, oh God, what a bitter

tragedy,

such very hard moments, by God.
