According to the agency's explanation, Museliants is distinguished by conflictual behavior towards both the administration and other convicts, which is why he often has to change cells. According to the Penitentiary Service, in accordance with the legislation, placing a convict in so-called quarantine when changing cells is a standard procedure and not a mechanism of pressure on him.

The service also denies the allegations regarding unsanitary conditions, food quality, and the inaccessibility of medical services. According to the agency's statement, prisoners have the opportunity to receive medical assistance, and in case of need, they are transferred to civilian clinics. As for the inspection of correspondence, the service claims that this is done in accordance with security requirements, without becoming acquainted with the content, and Museliants has the opportunity to send letters to media outlets without hindrance.
