Size of cells: 8 square meters?[edit]

The Finnish article fi:Krestyn vankila (by me) claims all 999 cells were 8 square meters. The Finnish source is here: PIKKUJOULUMATKA PIETARIIN 18.-20.11.2005. This article says: "Often cells as small as 3 square meters designed for solitary confinement held 15-20 inmates or more". Which one is right? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 12:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Russian source for three meters does not appear particularly reliable. I have removed the three meters bit to be on the safe side. Alex Bakharev (talk) 05:02, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
