Russian prisoners, who were once recruited by Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner Group, have turned against him, viewing him as a traitor. Prigozhin, an ex-convict himself, was once popular among prisoners but lost their respect after calling off a short-lived mutiny against Russian leadership and agreeing to go into exile.
