Russia and the huge number of states worldwide - including much of the west, and definitely the US - that take political prisoners for systematized abuse and human rights deprivation out of public view urgently need to be dismantled and reconstructed.

More broadly, higher security prisons in general need to be shut down. They're usually barbaric. Very little good comes of them that couldn't be achieved in some other, more humane and lower cost way.
