An advocate for a Russian prison rights group has said Brittney Griner's American nationality will be a 'disadvantage' in the already-brutal penal colony system, while her sexuality will also make her a 'threat' within the prison.
Griner - who has been in Russian custody since February for allegedly being found with cannabis oil - was moved to a penal colony from a detention center on November 4 according to her legal team.
And while it's unclear which penal colony the WNBA star has been transferred too, she faces the prospect of leaving the colony 'as a different person' according to Olga Romanova of group Russia Behind Bars.
Speaking toearlier this month - before news broke of Griner's move to the colony - Romanova painted a wholly bleak picture of the conditions the basketball player will endure.
Interestingly, she said women's colonies are believed to be more dangerous than men's in her line of work, as the former lacks the 'unspoken rules of behavior' and 'unofficial power brokers' of the latter.

'Everyone is up for themselves there. Everything goes — you can betray, you can abuse. There are no rules of behavior.
'I don't think anyone would protect her. Americans won't believe me, but human rights don't exist in Russian colonies — no right to health, dignity or life. Nothing, forget it.'
Griner's appeal of her nine-year prison sentence was rejected by the Russian government last month, and her lawyers said Wednesday that she didn't know exactly where their client was.
According to Amnesty International, trips to a colony 'can take from two weeks to a month or more,' with the journeys being described as 'cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.'
Inmates in penal colonies face poor sanitation, food shortages, limited healthcare access, and even physical and sexual violence in penal colonies, according to the State Department.
Prisoners are also subject to extremely long workdays, while Romanova said Griner is 'likely to be jumped in the bathrooms' and hear 'slurs no one ever should hear.'
'The Russian government taught people long ago that Americans are the enemy of humankind,' she said.
Griner's legal efforts to avoid her nine-year prison sentence in a penal colony were exhausted
While there is significant concern for freeing Griner - who the US State department have determined to be wrongfully detained - there hasn't appeared to be much progress made on that front.
President Joe Biden said the US government has not 'been meeting with positive response' from Russia despite their continued efforts to free Griner, while Russia has not been willing to engage on a prisoner swap that would see her released.
'As we work to secure Brittney Griner's release, we expect Russian authorities to provide our Embassy officials with regular access to all US citizens detained in Russia, including Brittney, as is their obligation, a statement from the State Department read Tuesday.
'Ensuring the health and welfare of US citizen detainees in Russia is a priority, and we will continue to press for fair and transparent treatment for them all.'
Griner's legal team was not sure of her exact whereabouts earlier this week
A view of the penal colony where Maria Alyokhina, jailed member of Russian punk band Pussy Riot, was held is seen in Nizhny Novgorod on December 19, 2013
The US government has approached Russia about swaps regarding both Griner and former Marine Paul Whelan, who was arrested in the country in 2018 on espionage charges.
But while Russia has seemingly resisted the US' efforts to get Griner home, there is previous precedent for a prisoner swap between the two nations.
The Biden administration carried out a prisoner swap in April, with Moscow releasing Marine veteran Trevor Reed in exchange for the US releasing a Russian pilot, Konstantin Yaroshenko, convicted in a drug trafficking conspiracy.

Moscow also has protested the arrest of another Russian currently in US custody, Alexander Vinnik, who was accused of laundering billions of dollars via an illicit cryptocurrency exchange. Vinnik had been in custody in Greece after being arrested there in 2017 at US request before being extradited to the US in August. It wasn't clear if Russia might demand Vinnik's release as part of a potential swap.
Griner's wife, Cherelle Griner, appeared to acknowledge her wife's culpability when speaking with CBS last month, but slammed the punishment Brittney has received.
'I do believe a crime should warrant a punishment,' Cherelle remarked. 'But it must be balanced… B.G. has truly suffered beyond her crime already.'
