1
a judge or prosecutor who would rather throw a violent criminal into a goulag than let them sit in a cell or get a bullet in the brain
The judge said, 'This guy’s a menace. I’d rather he freeze to death in Siberia than rot here.'
The prosecutor laughed and said, 'I’d send him to the gulag before I’d let him breathe fresh air again.'
They both agreed, 'Let the guy work till he drops. We don’t want him back here.'
