Not really. They’re using prisoners as mercenaries/cannon fodder for the Wagner Group. Either way, he’ll probably have to go fight.
At least he wasn’t murdered with a sledgehammer like that Wagner guy who refused to fight. >

That was a different story. He was captured by Ukrainians, gave interviews saying he'd like to fight in their side, then somehow (that part is shady) was swapped to wagner and they killed him. >

This sounds like a massive screwup.  They handed Russia an golden opportunity to make sure their troops to fight to the death rather than surrender. >

Thrown in jail, let out the next day to join the military because everyone is getting called up, rinse and repeat. >

I thought they were just drafting prisoners, so jail would just be a more direct route for him >

And now Wagner will try to recruit him from prison to be cannon fodder in Ukraine. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 73%. (I'm a bot)

real quick visit to prison and then into ranks of wagner as a cannon fodder. >

Probably the safest place he can be right now. As soon as this war is over and Russia is under a sane Leader, he can probably go home. Now he just needs to find a way to not get bought by those Wagner shoppers.
