Really tells a lot how hard the prisons are in Russia that tens of thousands inmates decided to sign up for that.

Also he tells them there's going to be no sex allowed with neither women nor men (guys coming out from actual rape culture), and not "with flora and fauna", no rape/sex at all. No looting too.

And actually they're being kept disciplined from what I know, that is I never heard about them roaming around and doing any random shit at all.

There's a Russian TV show about a WWII penal unit made from prisoners. I've seen a random scene from it on TV and it's not good, by which I mean not realistic (they cross a river on rafts under heavy fire in daylight without support and succeed) and I'm now comparing everything to Band of Brothers / The Pacific as a standard and Generation Kill as an ideal. (For example, The Long Way Home = unrealistic garbage, plus stupid melodrama about women.)
